In a rare public talk, C++ creator Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup discusses his ideal in programming languages, as well how he sees the next version (and beyond) of C++ developing. He explains the general selection criteria used for adding new features, some of the legacy of C++, and many other interesting topics. Especially interesting is during the Q&A he explains his views of the embrace and extend mentality some implementations, such as VC++, have taken.
I saw this news on Slashdot – The future of C++ as seen by its creator.
Q&A
* Do you think you’ll ever design a new language from scratch?
* How long after the standard is out do you expect to see a production compiler ?
* Is it possible to do garbage collection cleanly and efficiently in C++ ?
* How soon after you created C++ did you see it start to take over the industry ?
* Is there any particular naming convention you subscribe to?
* What’s your opinion about the Microsoft implementation of C++ ?
