    It's interesting to read what he said about C++ 10 years ago:

    "It was only supposed to be a joke, I never thought people would take [the book] seriously. Anyone with half a brain can see that object-oriented programming is counter-intuitive, illogical and inefficient." http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/An_Interview_with_Bjarne_Stroustrup.html
