Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.

First, I'd like to see the basic tools such as compilers, debuggers, profilers, database interfaces, GUI builders, CAD tools, and so forth fully support the ISO standard.

Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.

With the increasing importance of standards for system-level objects such as COM and CORBA, it is particularly important that the C++ bindings to those be clean, well documented, and simple to use.

Defining OO as based on the use of class hierarchies and virtual functions is also practical in that it provides some guidance as to where OO is likely to be successful.

The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.

My list of basic tools is a partial answer to the question about what has changed: Over the past few years, large numbers of programmers have come to depend on elaborate tools to interface code with systems facilities.

Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.

Thus, the standard library will serve as both a tool and as a teacher.

I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries.

It is easy to study the rules of overloading and of templates without noticing that together they are one of the keys to elegant and efficient type-safe containers.

I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining.

After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either.

People who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language.

However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.

This evolution may compromise Java's claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today.

Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.

The first law of computer science Every problem is solved by yet another indirection.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

What the hell difference does it make, left or right? There were good men lost on both sides.

PR is extremely important, and being able to use it in the right way means everything. You have to market your success.

I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.
