Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only knew one language.

Bjarne Stroustrup

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

Connections Errors Thinking
I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Language Programming Support
Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Analyzing Looks Tools
[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
There is no one “root of all evil” in software development. Design is hard in many ways.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Creativity Engineering Simple
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
Java isn’t platform independent; it is a platform
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Independent Java Platforms
The most important single aspect of software development is to be clear about what you are trying to build.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Important Learning Simplicity
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
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
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
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
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
For this reason restricting language features with the intent of eliminating programmer errors is at best dangerous.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Dangerous Language Program Think
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
