Erik Naggum on C++

← Back to Erik Naggum Profile
“In C++, reinvention is its own reward.”
Erik Naggum
“C++ is a language strongly optimized for liars and people who go by guesswork and ignorance.”
Erik Naggum
“I believe C++ instills fear in programmers, fear that the interaction of some details causes unpredictable results. Its unmanageable complexity has spawned more fear-preventing tools than any other language, but the solution should have been to create and use a language that does not overload the whole goddamn human brain with irrelevant details.”
