The Design of C++ , lecture by Bjarne Stroustrup

Young man with same hairstyle

Obviously C++ has changed a lot since then, but I definitely think it's still a language that adapts to solve contemporary problems. Threads, std::function and smart pointers are a great example

ASMRC++

All I heard in this video was "let me show you how I made everything harder to do here again..."

When this interview was done ?

I use this video fall asleep quickly 😅😅

I watch this talk once a year or so just to get inspired to be a better developer.

I love to mathematics prevent me to deep in language theory;
But I like and I consider C and C++ are true languages.

I have learnt a lot from this guy

there was a design idea? lol He just threw everything and the kitchen sink

2x still sounds slow

The Design of C++: "I just threw every fucking thing I had ever heard of on top of C" -- Bjarne Starsoup

I hate you Tim Pool

If it wasn't for the haircut Bjarne looks remarkably young here.

Bjarne never used C++. I mean, he just can't have ....

His dry sarcasm at times is pure gold lol

bad designer, bad video

It's amazing to think that his work has touched our lives over so many vectors.

Why are they all bald ?

It's crazy that I'm watching a video on what I'm learning that was recorded on the same month and same year that I was born!!!!

Nobody has mentioned the flying duck, what does it signal?

And I am not even a software developer . I can’t remember even being one in the first place actually.
What may confuse people is that I have a degree in software and hardware design 😂😂😂

And crafted a C++23 feature just before Christmas last year 😂😂😂

But that doesn’t count. It was way to easy. If I had been a senior software engineer, it should have taken less than one hour from receiving the specifications, to having a release ready to ship solution 😂😂😂😂
Anything longer than that and you either don’t understand C++, or how a computer works

My view on languages is:
The language allows you to express your ideas, in this context, in a clear an concise way.
The better the language is in supporting the human way of expressing ideas, and at the same time, the better this could be translated to the way a machine understood it….
It will enable you to craft exceptional results!

C++ is a great language for the purpose it was designed for.
It has a vast set of features which takes some time to master.
The real challenge imho is how we are taught how to program.
Some people never recover 😎

After 24 years of C++ programming : I love it and : I owe you man

I am 31 yrs old, I've been a cook all my life (for 13years) and now i started my coding journey like 3 weeks ago... but, I am really struggling, for some reason, i'm having a hard time in remembering some stuff and making sense of some of them (why some code work the way they do), i don't know if im overthinking it or what but, I really want to learn this programming language.

He is a brilliant hardworking decent man

me.

These are people, that didn't go to school to see friends 😋🙄

This guy is very dangerous!!! 😎

I like how he occasionally pulls the string on the bird

I'm here as someone who knows C# and wants to know why everyone makes a big deal about c++

Opening bird pull is epic brilliance.

C++ is God, everything else is shit!

Barney Stroustroup, I bought your C++ book and you are a legend

It would be a dream of mine to meet that man. Just a fantastic human being :) I have NEVER done anything worthy by writing software. In the early 1990's I was introduced to the "home computer", and in the late 1990's I took some programming classes at a (very expensive, overrated university), and decided that I want to be a "programmer". One of the books we used in the C++ class was the Deitel & Deitel one. That didn't happen. I ended up transferring in year 3 of my IT degree to a community college (yeah, stupid) and got an A.S. IT there, and never found a job with it upon graduation. At community college I took courses in things like Java, and did poorly. In the early 2000's I bought numerous programming books from the likes of Barnes & Noble and then from Amazon, thinking that "if I just get THAT book, then I'll be able to write software". One book I bought was one of Barne's older C++ books. In the late 2010's I was homeschooling my son along with my wife, and I bought MORE programming books. While I did teach how to write simple computer programs, my own frustrations at not having met my own dream of being a programmer manifested themselves in my son ultimately hating doing any programming. Upon my divorce from her, I threw away many of the books. Surely by now I'd never have to worry about those programming books again! In the past two years I've gotten MORE books, and threw others away, and at one point I was liking PHP & MySQL. I even made a heart beat/pressure tracker for my husband. In the past few months I've started thinking about programming again, and one of the books I just received in the mail today was Barne's book Principals & Practices Using C++, and I have to say that I am really enjoying this C++ book. Despite my frustrations with programming over the years, SOMETHING about it keeps drawing me back. Fingers crossed this time :)

pimpin' ain't easy

Stop playing with the goose, we're rolling

Thank you for this video. It is truly beautiful to watch.

This man is a legend.

now I'm dead sure that he was born with that hairstyle.

I think that with C++ one can build a Learning Being , Doing and Having entity also , Liked and Shared . Thank You :) QC

Perfect lecture, thank you for sharing this valueable content.
