The C++ Source Journalvia Digital Mars C++ C++ [is] indisputably the most powerful programming language in the world. For reasons understood by many, it has, however, become a very complex language, and many a novice has followed after the siren song of lesser languages.
So is launched The C++ Source, Like BCPL, B was a typeless language with a rich set of operations on machine words... How well does B embody The Spirit [of C]? Almost perfectly, in my opinion. "Trust the programmer" and "Don't prevent the programmer from doing what needs to be done" are obvious characteristics of a typeless language. [Meanwhile, however, the] C++ language is very nearly completely type-safe, which is a good thing, as its type system is arguably the most complex of any language. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. |
