With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use.

Bjarne Stroustrup

[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely submerged in corporate “culture” with no outlet for unique talents and skills.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Outlet Practice Skills Unique
Too many managers and executives try to reduce programming to a low-level assembly-line activity. That’s inefficient, wasteful, costly in the long run, and inhumane to programmers.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Insufficient Long Running Trying
I assume that a sufficiently skilled will be able to do anything not explicitly forbidden by the hardware.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Able Assuming Forbidden
The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Book Provoking Reading Though
For this reason restricting language features with the intent of eliminating programmer errors is at best dangerous.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Dangerous Language Program Think
The connection between the language in which we think/program and the problems and solutions we can imagine is very close.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Connections Errors Thinking
Most of the programmers in ten years will be us, and we won’t get much smarter.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Mathematics Science Years
Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Problem Views Way
I do keep the main points straight in my head most of the time, and I do know where to find the details when I need them.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Details Find Head Need
C++ is designed to allow you to express ideas, but if you don’t have ideas or don’t have any clue about how to express them, C++ doesn’t offer much help.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Clue Helping Ideas
Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Analyzing Looks Tools
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Funny Humorous Witty
To many managers, getting rid of the arrogant, undisciplined, over-paid, technology-obsessed, improperly-dressed etc. programmers would appear to be a significant added benefit
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Arrogant Benefits Technology
With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Important Language Simple Use
Other programming languages constitute a mountain of ideas and inspiration-but it has to be mined carefully to avoid featurism and inconsistencies.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Carefully Feaaturism Ideas Inconsistences Promoted
Java isn’t platform independent; it is a platform
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Independent Java Platforms
