You can hide all kinds of clever and dirty code behind a good interface if you really need such code.

Bjarne Stroustrup

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
Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Design Forget Lost
Java isn’t platform independent; it is a platform

Independent Java Platforms
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
I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Language Programming Support
Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Good Objects Program Very
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
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
Creativity, engineering principles, and evolutionary change are needed to create a satisfactory large system.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Creativity Engineering Evolutionary Satisfactory
The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Book Provoking Reading Though
This evolution may compromise Java’s claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Effort Java May
When done well, software is invisible.

Done Invisible Software
I like doing research that has an impact. If I went to a company to make what they call ‘real money,’ I’d be just trying to make a system work as fast as possible to meet the product and serice deadlines.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Company Impact Possible Real Trying
I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries.

Library Standard Tools
You can hide all kinds of clever and dirty code behind a good interface if you really need such code.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Code Good Interface Need Really
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
