"... around age 10." C++ (not to mention C)? IIRC, I remember seeing B.S.'s "C with Classes" appear in ACM SIGPLAN Notices in the early 1980s -- 40 years ago.

"... around age 10." C++ (not to mention C)? IIRC, I remember seeing B.S.'s "C with Classes" appear in ACM SIGPLAN Notices in the early 1980s -- 40 years ago. I don't think it hit its peak 10 or even 15 years after its early development. Given that it's C++, that's a pretty major exception.
- Jensson 4y agoC++ was huge in the 1990s, C++'s share is probably smaller today than back then since so much of programming has moved over to managed and scripting languages.
- pron 4y agoIf C++ hadn't already hit it's all-time peak market share in 1995, it was certainly well inside the ballpark. It's far from an exception.
