Richard Stallman on C++
← Back to Richard Stallman Profile
“C++ is a badly designed and ugly language. It would be a shame to use it in Emacs.”
“You can use C++ if you want with GNOME, but we don't assume that you're going to write C++. It's to a large extent based on Scheme, which is a dialect of LISP. LISP being the most powerful and cleanest of languages, that's the language that's the GNU project always prefers.”
