C++ might be a total scam ! - Must read !

This was found on the web earlier, It is an interview with the Guy who created the programming language.

The interview isnt ment to be published but it got leaked !


Dont know if it is true or not though, quite hard to believe !

Bunko. Funny, but just the same.

Sadly, I must admit a hell of a lot of it is true... At least Java is far cleaner, even if it makes the fattest M$ monstrosity seem fast.

i'm sure that's a joke but it's pretty clever ;)

This is most definitely a hoax/practical joke. If the author had attempted to write the wording of the interview a little more intelligently, perhaps it would be believable. Instead, it is written as though Bjarne was a high-school kid. Anyway, here is a link to a Real Interview (http://www.devx.com/upload/free/features/vcdj/2000/05may00/ens0500/ens0500.asp).

Also, Java is definitely cleaner, safer and easier to learn. However, C++ has its place in the computing world. There are very few languages that are as versatile and complete as C++.

Well what sort of school dod he attend then, a private one ?

He does answer kind of slangish, but then again he just might not care !

That is so fake it's not even funny.

The interviewee drives the interview so intensely towards the single point in a way that can only be manufactured by someone with an extremely limited sense if how it would be in a real-life context.

What really gives it away is the tirade the fictional interviewee goes on about how the Object-Oriented paradigm is a farce and is the exact opposite from what we know it to be. The author of this fiction obviously lacks education in literature AND computer science. Good for a laugh I guess.

Heheheh, Its dnam funny how many people feel this needs to defeated as a hoax ;)


Does this truly strike home so close :confused:
