    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.

    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.

    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++.

    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.
