Dangerous Language Program Think
First, I’d like to see the basic tools such as compilers, debuggers, profilers, database interfaces, GUI builders, CAD tools, and so forth fully support the ISO standard.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Cad Support Tools
Our civilization depends critically on software, and we have a dangerously low degree of professionalism in the computer fields
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Civilization Degree Fields
My impression was and is that many programming languages and tools represent solutions looking for problems, and I was determined that my work should not fall into that category.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Fall Inspiration Real
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 find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Language Programming Support
Always think about how a piece of code should be used: good interfaces are the essence of good code.

Clever Dirty Thinking
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.

Details Find Head Need
An organisation that treats its programmers as morons will soon have programmers that are willing and able to act like morons only.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Able Organization Treat
I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries.

C++ is my favorite garbage collected language because it generates so little garbage
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Garbage Language Littles
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
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
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
[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
The connection between the language in which we think/program and the problems and solutions we can imagine is very close.
