"Do you think that if there were one person -- I don't know -- Bjarne -- or someone esle who would be making all of the decisions -- like W3C -- it would be better, or is the Committee a good compromise?
I think that Committee is a reasonable way to get a lot of parties together. To be honest, I don't think that Bjarne has any kind of desire to be the person who makes all of the decisions. The advantage of a person who makes all of the decisions is that they can have a clear vision and then can really implement that clear vision. And there's no one who plays that role in C++ and I don't know of anybody who could play that role in C++.
It's a little bit different from lots of other languages because it's very crossplatform -- so you're dealing with lots and lots of different operating systems. Lots of compiler vendors. There is not a lot of other languages for which there would be, say, four major compilers that run on different platforms. And also, just a range of applications. Especially when you start thinking about the impact of C++ on embedded systems where it is quite an important programming language -- they have really different views of the world in some cases.
So it would be nice if there were, like I said, a sort of a clear vision via a single person, but I don't think that's going to be happening in C++."

"The poor you will always have with you, but you will not
always have Me." Matthew 26:11
I'm a representative of His. I can give talks, but I'm
not claiming any know-how. G-d has been helping me all
the way.
Here's a story from the Gospel of John. It takes place
after Yeshua has been crucified and resurrected.
Early in the morning, Yeshua stood on the shore, but the
disciples did not realize that it was Yeshua.
He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?"
"No," they answered.
He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat
and you will find some." When they did, they were unable
to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Then the disciple whom Yeshua loved said to Peter, "It is
the L-rd!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is
the L-rd," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for
he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
----------------------------------------------------
They had been fishing all night with poor results.
Yeshua found them and told them what to do. They were
experienced fishermen, but they were willing to take
advice from someone they didn't recognize. Why listen
to a guy they didn't recognize? Things weren't going
well for them so I guess they decided "Why not?"

then he fills their net with so many fish they can't haul it in, so
they *still* have no fish, and have probably lost their net in the
process.

According to the New Testament Jesus was related to David.
According to the Old Testament David was related to Adam.
According to evolution (science) humans evolved so there was no first
human called Adam.
So science falsifies the New and Old Testament and in the process kills
Jesus and the Abrahamic god.
Conclusion: Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all based on a lie.

of followers* of one of the Abrahamic religions who believes the Old
and New Testaments** are the literal, and inerrant, word of God. For
example, no Roman Catholic should*** believe such a thing, and that's
half the people calling themselves Christians right there. The same
applies to most orthodox sects as well. And while Muslims consider
the Quran inerrant****, but the other inspired books (very roughly the
parts of the Old and New Testament accepted by Islam), are *not*
granted that status. Genesis is *specifically* held to be
allegorical. So that's something like three-quarters of the followers
of the Abrahamic religions right there, and most of the rest don't
assume inerrancy either.
Of course the people to whom this argument would actually apply, are
pretty likely to simply reject evolution in the first place.
*Or at least claimed followers.
**Obviously not all sects accept quite the same versions of those.
***The Church's doctrine is quite clear on the matter, but lots of
people do get it wrong.
****At least in its Arabic form.

The Bible has some interesting philosophy in parts, and some of it is
worth following. But it has no evidence or justification for claims to
authority. /You/ may believe it has special authority, but that's
/your/ business - you can't expect anyone else to agree or even to
understand your position.

not unreasonable, but most people here already know that your religious
beliefs are a major driving force in your life and work - we don't need
to be told again. If you want to persuade people to join your religion,
do so by demonstrating its benefits through your words and deeds - show
us how it makes you a better person or a better programmer. (And no,
reposting complaints about swearing does not show that you are a better
person. Nor do Biblical quotations.) That's your challenge.
(But please, for the sake of others in c.l.c++ who dislike such OT
posts, try to keep religious threads to a minimum here. I already
mentioned sci.electronics.design as a group where on-topic threads are
so rare that they are practically off-topic - you might consider it as
an option.)

All we know is that there a are some serious gaps in the story told by
the Genesis:
There are these two people Adam and Eve. They have two sons. One of them
is killed and the other one has to move to a place called Nod. There he
gets himself a wife (what?!) and has a son, who has another son, etc.
I have always wondered where all the wives came from. Science?

<snip story about Jesus some hunter-gatherers>
We programmers are manufacturers not hunter-gatherers. We do no need
luck of catching wild animals to be successful. When we do our work
well, with hearth and brain then other humans buy it from us. Advice
from others (regardless if it is Jesus or Bjarne Stroustrup) is always
worth to listen but never (even if it is holy scripture or latest
edition of "The C++ Programming Language") to blindly follow.
We need to understand nuances of our ever-changing work and doing
anything blindly is extremely bad advice. It leads to disasters and
rarely to useful results.

"be fruitful and multiply." Also Abraham was married to

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you,
and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for
in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The future of C++ belongs to the poor in spirit, those who
mourn, the gentle, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those
persecuted for the sake of righteousness.
Ebenezer Enterprises is a small company, but we have a
big G-d.

On comp.lang.c, someone has been forging posts as though they were
written by another regular poster - exaggerating his style and opinions
in order to mock them. It is not inconceivable that the same immature
bully is at work in this group, posting in Brian's name - Brian has
never hidden his beliefs or his conviction that his work is "guided by
Jesus", but I don't remember him making posts that are merely mindless
Biblical quotations.
Would the real Brian please stand up?

In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the
last resort of the scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened
but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
