@bfcarlson In 1973, I was 20. How could that not be better than 2023?

@InformIT @isocpp @c_plus_plus Great to have it out! It's a significant upgrade from Tour2.

@romero @piotrkotnis @WeAreDevs @ID_AA_Carmack Actually, we didn't talk much about me either. We talked about technical stuff. Hardware, software, techniques, changes over time.

@paulkrugman The Russian strategy of targeting civilians makes perfect sense if the aim is to replace the population with Russians – ethnic cleansing – like Viborg and Karelia, like Konigsberg, like Eastern Poland.

@PeterSommerlad That was a fairly common sentiment at Bell Labs complemented by "Language design is library design"

@WalterBright @MarkusWerle @herbsutter @seanbax It was, at least initially, but where is Greg?

@mapochamp @sigfpe @_Srijit @MathewPCalkins A Tour of C++ (2nd edition) is a brief - 240 page - tour of the C++ Programming language and its standard library for experienced programmers).

@SanjayVyas @Soma33088836 @chris_umendeche @suprabhasupi Correct. The Simula guys (notably Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl) used the term "object-based" for years before Alan Kay discovered inheritance from reading the source of a Simula compiler.

@SanjayVyas @sumim @chris_umendeche @suprabhasupi The first OO language was Simula from 1967: https://t.co/gd2KtSJIy9

@bjorn_fahller @Cor3ntin @vzverovich Actually, at the time, there were dozens of quite reasonable systems programming languages; most system/machine specific, but not all. C had to overcome many political/commercial and technical problems. https://t.co/xjX5TKq7ad

[Bjarne Stroustrup @stroustrup]

@Paxxi @tvaneerd @Cor3ntin Every successful language hits such problems. https://t.co/VhXAk7u0OU

@Mayankesh_ Actually, it won't pass the compiler. Instead try the simpler:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout<<"Fact 1\nC++ was developed by\nBjarne Stroustrup\n";
}

@listenserver @RoalzApps @__phantomderp The paper references and quotes a 1992 paper on the subject. The idea of the Vasa as cautionary tale isn't novel. Also, a metaphor is there to make people think, not as a proof of anything. Both papers give concrete examples of potentially troublesome features.
