I actually remember that time! C++ rode on a wave of OOP hype. It was all about that, packaged into something people were kind of familiar with. OOP WAS THE FUTURE, MAN!
- marcosdumay 4y agoC++ was C with a better interface for GUI widgets and generic templates. There was a lot of hype about OOP too, but I am not sure it was ever adopted because of it.
- Keyframe 4y agoC++ was C with a better interface for GUI widgets and generic templates. That came a lot later in its life, like mid to late 90's.
- marcosdumay 4y agoGood point. I am not aware of how software was developed at the late 80s and early 90s... But was C++ widely adopted at that time? I remember C++ compilers being a huge pain by the middle 90s. I can't imagine everybody using them earlier. (But then, it wouldn't be the first time everybody just decides to do something I can't imagine.)
