I have a vague memory of a Borland C++ coming bundled with a rather funky Smalltalk-inspired container library - this was pre-STL and in fact pre-templates even. Perhaps another old fart can confirm or correct?
- zwieback 3y agoI think early Borland container libraries had a "Object" base class for everything, pre templates. All that went away as C++ compilers started supporting templates more. I remember this era as always making tradeoffs between code size, memory consumption, standardness and performance. Not sorry those days are over...
- jen20 3y agoThese days we get huge binaries, unbounded memory consumption, no standards and awful performance. Much better!
