By popular demand, and a request from the man himself, we’ve decided to release the full interview with esteemed computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup (aka the creator of C++). We cover a bunch of topics so check the chapters to find what interests you the most! Filmed last year. Enjoy and happy trails!
P.S. Our main mic failed on this shoot, which is why the audio isn't the best - we recommend to not put it too loud and read the subs if you find it annoying.
00:00-02:42 Getting into programming

"I got into programming simply because of mistake" 😂. Best opening quote I have ever heard. My respect to you.

“Programming Principles & Practice using C++” is my favorite technical textbook of all time. It's literally a masterpiece, full of knowledge and practical advice for programming and for life in general ❤

it's crazy how they call C++ is an old language and ourLegend is this "young" !

He is a great man. wish, all young programmers would watch this. not only C++ programmers need to watch this but also need the whole community to watch it and do what he adviced .

I totally agree. I don't want to do web apps but 90% of tutotrials are geared towards web apps developement.

Guess you also need to see the employment criteria the barrier to entry is low compared to others and then you can eventually learn and experiment while having a job

I think it's mostly because of lack of understand. people think web development is html and css and those boring things. I had this mindset 6 years ago when I was learning C++

(Before the interview) "No questions about Rust". No, but really, C++ was my real start with programming. I was taught Java at first, but C++ helped me truly understand programming. Thank you.

"One of the things I like about computing and programming in particular it's the best excuse for looking at any field because they already use computers and they all use some programming so a thing that keeps me going inside, visit places where they use c++ and see what they are doing. So I get to CERN and to JPL and also lots of little places." - bjarne stroustrup

I wish long live to C++ , and you, Bjarne. Just remember that there is no language that can replace C++ , neither Rust nor Zig , or something like Carbon.

Why is so? I'm not a c++ or rust programmer, but everything I see about c++ is like "it's damn horrible, outdated, rust is way better" and other stuff.

@@aintnochange, because C++20 and above are very good, all those who criticize C++ and call for switching to rust either do not know C++ or have used C++ below version 11. There is another group of people who rewrite old C or C++ programs in Rust and claim improved performance and something like that. A sane person will understand that rewriting a program again and getting an increase is not news. And this is not a Rust achievement. If you rewrite the old program again in C++, using new features, the gain will be the same or even better. Moreover, some people introduce multithreading into programs rewritten in Rust and suddenly get a performance boost, this is also important to take into account. The Rust community often mentions memory safety; a study is cited that states that 70% (or something like that) of problems are memory issues. But Stroustrup himself in one of his interviews repeatedly said that writing “C/C++” together is not entirely correct, and in research the problems are mainly not C++, many use C++ as pure C. Yes, C++ has a lot of problems, but this does not make it a bad language and it is evolving. But on the other hand, I’m not saying that Rust is bad, I just think everyone is already tired of all this propaganda. And we must understand that if we say that Rust is a system programming language, then in this case Rust will not be able to do without the constant use of unsafe blocks.

It's not a flexible idea to say C++ is irreplaceable.

@sonOfBandera 8 ай бұрын

@@aintnochange it's mainly because of people's attitude. People tend to choose more well-documented, more available and broader-used languages. I've learned c++ for some time and definitely can say that it has it's own flaws and weird moments, but overall it would very unlikely become obsolete as long as there is a system with a low computational power or time-critical computations to be done. Many things, of course, can be done in assembly directly, but writing code in c++ is just so much more convenient, fast and pleasant. And some computations are also done faster/require less code to be written in other languages, but the c++ for me is a nice medium between modern, fast-to-write-in, and computationally fast language

I found C and C++ to be hard to read compared to Pascal, Modula-2, Ada. Java is a little more readable. My favorite is Modula-2 - yes it can do low level programming just as well as C++. And much easier to debug than C or C++. I used Topspeed Modula and XDS Modula-2 in Windows. But unfortunately Modula-2 could not compete commercially with C and C++.
