Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.

Bjarne Stroustrup

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.

Bored Errors Programmers
Our civilization depends critically on software, and we have a dangerously low degree of professionalism in the computer fields

Civilization Degree Fields
Defining OO as based on the use of class hierarchies and virtual functions is also practical in that it provides some guidance as to where OO is likely to be successful.

Class Function Hirerachies Successful Use
Anybody who comes to you and says he has a perfect language is either naive or a salesman.

Destructors for virtual base classes are executed in the reverse order of their appearance in a depth-first left-to-right traversal of the directed acyclic graph of base classes.

Class Depth Order
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
I assume that a sufficiently skilled will be able to do anything not explicitly forbidden by the hardware.

Able Assuming Forbidden
Other programming languages constitute a mountain of ideas and inspiration-but it has to be mined carefully to avoid featurism and inconsistencies.

Carefully Feaaturism Ideas Inconsistences Promoted
However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Java Language Serious
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
Some software is actually pretty good, by any standard. Think of the Mars Rovers, Google, and the Human Genome Project. Now, that’s quality software!
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Google Quality Thinking
It is easy to study the rules of overloading and of templates without noticing that together they are one of the keys to elegant and efficient type-safe containers.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Efficient Keys Safe Together
