Bjarne Stroustrup: Journey to C++ from Fortran, Algol, Simula, and C 

Full episode with Bjarne Stroustrup (Nov 2019): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uTxRF5ag27A.html Please subscribe to new clips channel (Lex Clips): ru-vid.com Once it reaches 20,000 subscribers, I'll start posting the clips there instead. (more links below) For now, new full episodes are released once or twice a week and a few new clips or a new non-podcast video is released on all other days.

Ultimately, this podcast is a small side hobby for me with the goal of sharing and discussing ideas. I did a poll and 92% of people either liked or loved the posting of daily clips, 2% were indifferent, and 6% hated it, some suggesting that I post them on a separate RU-vid channel. I hear the 6% and partially agree, so am torn about the whole thing. I tried creating a separate clips channel but the RU-vid algorithm makes it very difficult for that channel to grow. So for a little while, I'll keep posting clips on this channel. I ask for your patience and to see these clips as supporting the dissemination of knowledge contained in nuanced discussion. If you enjoy it, consider subscribing, sharing, and commenting. Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of C++, a programming language that after 34 years is still one of the most popular and powerful languages in the world. Its focus on fast, stable, robust code underlies many of the biggest systems in the world that we have come to rely on as a society. If you're watching this on RU-vid, many of the critical back-end component of RU-vid are written in C++. Same goes for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, most Microsoft applications, Adobe applications, most database systems, and most physical systems that operate in the real-world like cars, robots, rockets that launch us into space and one day will land us on Mars.

Even though I'm not a programmer, listening to Mr. Bjarne Stroustrup is somehow always interesting. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers; very good interviews and very interesting guests. It's just a matter of time I guess. Keep doing what you do!

Great Interview!

FORTRAN FTW!

It is great to have Bjarne and listen to him. I have read most creators of PL and he is the best explainer and also pragmmatic so not to include things in the language that are just plain irrelevant.

C++20 will change the game

C++ one of the roots for engineering and programming 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Anyone can recite history of programming languages! I suggest questions drawing on bjorns unique ezperiences. Great interview though

Currently learning C in my programming 1 class. I learned Python last semester and halfway through this semester we're going to learn C++. C is definitely less intuitive than Python, but i'm starting to get used to and liking the syntax. Can't wait to learn C++ next. After that I'll probably learn C# or Java.

I'm too dumb for both C and C++, but that won't stop me from loving Bjarne

what about best ways of learning coding languages?

Algol 60 is a nice coding system.

Surprised Lisp wasnt on that list

Hey Its Larry david! Curb your programming!😃

I don't mean to sound harsh, and to be clear I have no credentials - but how the hell could you possibly be a computer scientist, and not know what types are? In addition, types are not an echo of object oriented programing. Your look of bewilderment and confusion at 3:18 speaks for itself. I looked into this a bit more, and your dissertation is only 60 pages long, which is not uncommon in the tech world, but again, it's only 60 pages. I'd imagine you could write a book on multimodal biometric systems. This is not the first time you looked like a dog that's been shown a card trick during an interview. The Brian Kernighan interview is telling as well. IDK, maybe the only programing language you understand is python. I could be wrong, and not that it matters. It is just absolutely fucking mind-blowing to me that a man with a computer science degree, a Fucking PHD, does not know what types are. I love it when he shot down LISP - and his reaction to 3:18. This is old but gold!

don't laugh at COBOL !!!!!
