the C++

1.In retrospect, I think the overall structure of C++ was shaped as much by general "world view" as it was shaped by the detailed computer science concepts used to form its individual parts.

2.I designed C++ to solve a problem,not to prove a point ,and it grew to serve its users.the underlying view is that it is possible to achieve improvements through gradual change.the ideal situation is to maintain the greatest rate of change that improves the welfare of the individuals involved.

3.the main difficulties are to determine what constitutes progress, to develop techniques to smooth transitions, and to avoid excesses caused by over-enthusiasm.

4.a programming language can be the most important factor in a programmer's day, however, a programming language is really a very tiny part of the world, and as such, it ought not be taken too seriously. keep a sense of proportion and -most importantly- keep a sense of humor.
