MIT Technology Review: An Interview With Bjarne Stroustrup

[Pragma]

Something I ran into that the group might enjoy:

From: http://www.techreview.com/InfoTech/17831/

"Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of the C++ programming language, 
defends his legacy and examines what's wrong with most software code."

As always, Slashdot has some colorful coverage on this:

http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/12/05/0045234.shtml

"MIT's Technology Review has a Q&A with C++ inventor Bjarne Stroustrup. 
Highlights include Bjarne's answers on the trade-offs involved in the 
design of C++, and how they apply today, and his thoughts on the 
solution to the problems. From the interview: 'Software developers have 
become adept at the difficult art of building reasonably reliable 
systems out of unreliable parts. The snag is that often we do not know 
exactly how we did it.'"
