The Future of C++ As Seen By Its Creator

Posted by Zonk on from the fun-name-to-say dept.

holden writes "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."

    Yeah, there are lots of jobs doing Java. The downside is, you have to work in Java :p Think big financial system, database work, middleware, web backends. And did I mention you have to work in Java? Maybe you can even get to work a bit in JSTL, if you don't find Java limiting enough :P

    Why are you programming in C++ for an embedded system?
    All that template garbage is going to inflate the size of your code, and do you really need it? Yeah, the situation sucks, but I don't see why you can't just use C... since it allows you to do leaner things.
