I enjoyed reading Jon Bentley's Programming Pearls 1st edition a long time ago. Is the second edition worth buying? Are there significant changes, other than code being written in C/C++?

P.S.: I've seen what the author says, but I wanted to seek opinion from other readers as to what they really thought of it.
