It was an interesting read, but my favorite quote is:

"I don't remember. In fact, I don't remember all that much
from the 1980s."
Also the part about how "people were over-excited about the use of
class hierarchies". I used to think Stroustrup was one of them ...

I have chosen to troll filter/ignore all subthreads containing the
words: "Rick C. Hodgins", "Flibble", and "Islam"
So, I won't be able to see or respond to any such messages

Oh, the 1980s weren't /that/ bad!

The only vaguely C++-related thing I remember from the 1980s is a
classmate (Johan) who played with Turbo C a bit in the school computer
room, in 1988. I took one look and was intimidated by all those curly
brackets -- I had only used ABC-BASIC and very little Turbo Pascal at
the time.
I can't remember hearing about C++ until around 1991. Then I didn't
use it myself until 1997 or 1998. Then it took a few more years until
a coworker showed me how I /really/ should use it ...
