For those who don't know, he's Bjarne Stroustrup, he developed C++.

I thought debugging Python code was horrible because of the lack of type constraints, but reading C++ error messages got me years closer to the grave.

This makes me feel good. I love C++ and everybody tries to push me towards python or Java, but cpp is so awesome.

[ritik]

This old man should learn c++ for sure. He sounds interested in c++.

How to find what languages/technology you should use:
1. Find an industry you enjoy
2. Find a job you would like to do in that industry
3. Look at what languages/technologies that job requires
4. Learn those languages/technologies
You can earn money and create incredible solutions with any language, so don't focus on the language, focus on what you want to do.
People too often start learning a language and then find out it won’t even be used in something they’re interested in.

C++ with it's meta programming is phenomenal. It's so powerful and so hard to learn and hard if possible to debug, all at the same time.
The learning curve of meta programming itself i'd say is so steep it puts down so many people from mastering it

C++ is an easy languages to get into but definitely hard to master. If this is your first starting programming language then good for you because its cover the fundamental of most programming concept. Which is why learning Python & Java later were easier for me.

I hope to get into columbia university for my masters and get to learn C++ from him! I love C++. BTW, he forgot that most deep learning technologies are also using C++ for computer vision and NLP tasks.

I wonder if Bjarne had full hair before he had to debug c++ code. 🤣

[akin]

I may not like C++ (Python fanboy), but it is one of the best languages for gaming, robotics, hardware, and self-driving cars. Only way to avoid it is to avoid industries that use it.

[flaguser]

great to see an old wise guy being a big fan of c++ and sharing his experiences! :-)

[shravan]

I love C++ but haven't coded much in it. C++ is used in stock market, camera, cars and several other areas where data processing is involved.

[mutyaluamballa]

Its great to see, how he can talk and whistle at the same time 😂, No wonder that he invented c++

[bayuwiwiwiwi]

That is correct. Numerical weather predictions also use C / C++ and fortran.

[kidbuu]

This man is a national treasure, you won't understand the beauty and power of C++ unless you have the desire to become a real programmer, it's as simple as that.

[abrarmasumabir]

Thanks old man for giving us something valuable and we will take it a lot further than you can even a promise form high school computer scientist ....love

[jgvidotto]

Where can I find the complete interview? I'm taking this nanodegree program right now

[digimikeh]

C++ is the most beautiful thing never made ... it is just like an omnipotente and omnipresent language, you can handle lowest and high level, .... used for everything you can imagine..

[axemanaxeman]

It so cool to get this info from the inventor of C++ himself. Having said tht, each tool is relevant, one cant use a hammer where a screw driver is needed or a plier is needed.
Hammer or plier or a screw driver, ultimately it's the creation that matters more than the tools used to create it. No?

[farikunaziz]

c++, ++ for

1.type
2.thinking
3.headache
4.more than just shooting yourself in the foot
5.don't think your program is running that's a good sign until you manage to improve its performance, more work!
6.terrible error message
7.write your own message

even so, I stick with C++ :):):):):):)
