Bjarne Stroustrup: How C++ Combats Global Warming

[NoNiceNamesLeft]

suprised to see so little views for bjarne's videos

[tentim10]

holy shit

[Darkheart98765]

@tentim10 Oh yes, Holy shit!!! Air Force, Facebook, Google and BMW!!! C++ Rocks!!!

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

So, stop talking about who is better than whom.

Stroustrup is know for this kind of tongue in cheek commentary

[xRaIDeNx69]

Dennis Ritchie = God

Bjarne Stroustrup = Jesus ;P

[Carrierski]

@xRaIDeNx69 I thought Jezus had hair :O

[mendozajanrae]

@Carrierski He may have had hairs but definitely not long hair like many knows, and maybe he havent had hair...because no one knows the true image of him except those who lived at his time.

@xRaIDeNx69 What I have understood, is that God constructs from Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Sorry I'm bored :P

[xRaIDeNx69]

@Matsku195

Dennis Ritchie is the inventor of C.

Bjarne Stroustrup was able to take an already successful language and make it even better with the invention of object oriented C i.e: C++ just like others have done with numerous other languages.

[MrVirtualCoder]

@xRaIDeNx69 He did not write it for direct OOP as you imply - to my understand.

He wrote a small library add-in to C, which then grew, new DATATYPES, etc. Now we got Classes and other great stuff.

[xRaIDeNx69]

@MrVirtualCoder

Yeah, I didn't mean that Bjarne Stroustrup invented OOP but thats what I sort of wrote yeah.

What I meant to say is that he made C (a procedural language) into an object oriented one and that people should give Dennis Ritchie more credit since he invented the "backbone" which is C itself which in effect influenced languages like: C++, C#, Java, PHP, D, Obj-C, JSP, Perl etc...

Of course the first languages that embraced OOP were ones like Simula and Smalltalk and not C++.

[MrVirtualCoder]

@xRaIDeNx69 I'm sure you're already aware of it, but when you write in C++, you write in C.

Even if you choose to use OOP programming with C++, then you are still writing in C.

In addition to that, you can still use the old way of programming, within C. C++ was not only for OOP, as mentioned before. It was merely an extension to C. Now we have Cout, which is secured from buffer overflows, structures, and other stuff to aid our development. Imagine C++ as being C with a few headers on top :-)

[FatalNeurotoxin]

@MrVirtualCoder Its usually best practice to make a clear distinction between the two languages and make an effort not to combine C and C++. It might depend on your perspective, but there is a logical difference between the two languages (beyond the new headers introduced in C++, templates, abstraction etc) that is related to the style in which the languages are utilized in their respective paradigms.

[MrVirtualCoder]

@FatalNeurotoxin I entirely agree. Programmers are with programming languages as Nationalists are with countries. If you program in C++, you automatically program in C. As well as if you program in D, you partially program in C, C++, Java, and whatever languages influenced it.

But, there are clear differences from C to C++, thus being entirely of the same in origin, that made C++ more popular than C...And of course, Bjarne is continuously expanding the language..

[fingrid]

@Matsku195 That's seriously funny. :)

[Davesjoshin]

I want to give Bjarne a high five.

C+++ will be an omnipotent AI.
