That is a very uncharitable interpretation of what Stroustrup said. It seems you had an opinion and retrofitted the interpretation of what he wrote to fit your opinion of him.
> Stroustrup: I probably look less at languages than you’d think. I look at what I think is interesting, I try them out but what I really do is to look at what problems do my colleagues and students have and how do I solve them.
> You: He ignores prior research, and keeps piling disjointed ideas on top of each other in the hopes that some will stick.
- divs1210 5y agoI'm sure I'm not the only one with that opinion. The proof is in the pudding - just have a look at C++. Linus won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. It is telling that you did not provide a more charitable interpretation despite feeling so strongly about my comment. I wonder what a more charitable interpretation would be.
