Bjarne Stroustrup gave an interview to Technology Review, where they asked him about C++, past and present. It’s a very interesting interview – the amount of experience Stroustrup has with building big systems stands out. I found myself thinking “he’s so right” in almost every paragraph.
My favorite two quotes:
…looking at “average” pieces of code can make me cry.
and
There are just two kinds of languages: the ones everybody complains about and the ones nobody uses.
