BJARNE STROUSTRUPPeople who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language.
BJARNE STROUSTRUPThe connection between the language in which we think/program and the problems and solutions we can imagine is very close.
BJARNE STROUSTRUPI find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining
BJARNE STROUSTRUPC++ is my favorite garbage collected language because it generates so little garbage
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.
