C++ Creator Confident About Its Future

bonch writes "Bjarne Stroustrup is confident about the future of C++. He says there is a backlash against new languages like Java and C#, and that developers are returning to C++." From the article: "He claimed the main reason why people are not aware of this is because C++ doesn't have a 'propaganda campaign.' Sun Microsystems has touted the use of Java in the Mars Rover program, for example, but Stroustrup asserts that C++ was also used.

No, calling C++ an extension of C is like calling a battleship bedecked in faeces and urine, rusting away in a disused shipyard lived in by pissed up tramps and whores an extension of a yacht.
