How quickly is "quickly"? I've been coding in C++ for years and I still find new ways of doing things and new idioms to consider.

- marcosdumay 12y agoDo at least K&R not feel this way? That discussion above does not really apply to C++. But then, if you lower the bar to how much C++ is widely known (the intersection, not union), it'll apply.
- BugsBunnySan 12y agoOn the one hand, R (http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/index.html http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/index.html) is sadly gone. However, this might be interesting to your question: From http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/duffs-device.html http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/duffs-device.html: "Somewhere I have a note from dmr [the R in K&R] certifying that all the compilers that he believes in accept it." So at least at some point Duff showed Ritchie something in C that Ritchie hadn't seen or considered before, long after C had been invented.
