Granted, your sentence is clearer than mine, & it might be wise for me
to restrain my love of obscure things like embedded "be" phrases on
lojban-ba'e-beginner. .u'uru'ero'a .u'iru'ero'e

  I have no problem with the embedded be-phrase.  It's the tanru as a whole that's causing me a problem.  Since tanru are by their nature vague, it seemed to imply that you are are comparing yourself to C++, as in:  

"lei nu mi zmadu be tu'a ko'a zifre fi tu'a ko'e" (your phrase) -> "lei nu mi zmadu tu'a ko'a lo ka zifre fi tu'a ko'e"
