[@budiardjo6610]

glad to see bjarne in the end of this years

[@bocckoka]

He should be playing Rick by now.

Do they really need to imagine who Bjarne Stroustrup is?xD

[@rjScubaSki]

It is absolutely insane to be head in the sand about Rust at this point

[@dimi144]

What does Rust have to do with this? It's just an interview with the creator of C++, I don't see how Rust fits in the picture here

[@rjScubaSki]

@ it’s not an interview. It’s a presentation about the future of C++, and is completely oblivious to the main issue C++ needs to address to go forward. Rust and the concept of memory safety won’t go away because some C++ stick their fingers in their ears.

@@rjScubaSki You forget one very important fact: Companies and industries most of the time don't choose a tool because it's the best, but because it requieres the less time to get used to, and that includes tools already in use. C++ is so rooted in the industry that at this point it's almost imposible to replace it, even how convoluted it is.

@@heavymetalmixer91 That doesn’t mean C++ ‘leaders’ should be complacent. Nothing lasts forever.

@@rjScubaSki many people are fine living through their entire lives that way. Anyway, C++ will never have that without dropping their legacy and becoming Rust, so there is really little to gain by talking about that. At least he doesn't bother the people whose still open to be convinced.
