It’s crazy to think C++ and Java are only 10 years apart in the language timeline.
- jamespwilliams 6y agoAnd C++ and Python only 6 years...
- mssdvd 6y agoAnd many people consider python as a novel language
- alblue 6y agoWhat's even more interesting is that C++ and Objective-C started around the same time, and while one is known about widely, the other is still used heavily in the macOS and iOS ecosystems today. Indeed, the creator of Java acknowledged that Objective-C inspired the Java runtime, in particular its late-binding and message sending capabilities, which is what Java has used to this day to allow applications to still run unchanged, even after all these years.
