Independent Java Platforms
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
Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.
BJARNE STROUSTRUP

Good Objects Program Very
The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.

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
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
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.
