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

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.

Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.

Proof by analogy is fraud.

I don't want to wear my compositional tools on my sleeve.

Like all tools, modern technology has produced some wonderful moments in music and also some horrors.

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.

I ask the American people to consider the legacy this administration has handed us in the defense budget as we spend billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars without the tools and ability to track these dollars.

We were given clear concrete tools. The course did a great job demystifying the art of fiction writing and fostering confidence. The instructor brought complex concepts down to earth. I will miss coming here every week.

The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

We had to address information technology in the ways we had not before and give the agents the tools that they need to do their job more efficiently and more expeditiously.

Do not wait; the time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

There was a time when nails were high-tech. There was a time when people had to be told how to use a telephone. Technology is just a tool. People use tools to improve their lives.

Many who think they are workers in politics are really merely tools.

I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis that we are in.

But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools.

We shape our tools and afterwards our tools shape us.

Many of us who have experienced psychedelics feel very much that they are sacred tools. They open spiritual awareness.

Technology tools such as laptops are the kind of help that we need. A program that provides laptops for all youngsters would close a gap that most of us are not aware of, or will not admit to, which is a tremendous gap in the poor communities.

We must continue to work hard on the federal level, to make sure that our local law enforcement and communities have the tools and resources they need to fight this war against methamphetamine, and keep our kids safe.

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.

Ten years ago, Republicans decided it was time to reform our broken welfare system and give welfare recipients the tools they needed to escape the system and build a better life.

We have the tools, but we have to learn how to use them. That is my political philosophy.

But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
