He didn't say "languages built for their creators are good", he said "good languages are built for their creators."
- Rusky 16y agoHe said "The good languages have been those that were designed for their own creators: C, Perl, Smalltalk, Lisp." To me that implies that /the/ good languages were /(most of/all) those/ that were designed for their own creators. Worse, he said "Historically, languages designed for other people to use have been bad: Cobol, PL/I, Pascal, Ada, C++." He explicitly included C++ in the list of languages designed for other people.
