Бьярне Строуструп цитаты

„Если вы считаете, что C++ труден, попытайтесь выучить английский.“

„Функции используются для наведения порядка в хаосе алгоритмов.“

„Я мечтал, чтобы компьютеры стали такими же простыми в использовании, как телефоны. Недавно моя мечта сбылась — я не смог разобраться с моим новым телефоном.“

„Небольшие программы случайно компилируются и выполняются правильно при первой же попытке. Но если это происходит с любой не тривиальной программой, то это очень и очень подозрительно.“

„Модульность — фундаментальный аспект всех успешно работающих крупных систем.“

„Что бы нового мы ни создавали, мы должны дать людям возможность переходить от старых инструментов и идей к новым.“

„Ограничение возможностей языка с целью предотвращения программистских ошибок в лучшем случае опасно.“

„Если не выходить за границу «объектно-ориентированных» методов, чтобы остаться в рамках «хорошего программирования и проектирования», то в итоге обязательно получается нечто, по большей части не имеющее смысла.“

“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”

“Everyone writes code as they’re used to, and that’s ugly.”

“C++ protects against accident, not against fraud.”

“I'm convinced that you could design a language about a tenth of the size of C++ (whichever way you measure size) providing roughly what C++ does.”

“[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely submerged in corporate "culture" with no outlet for unique talents and skills. Corporate practices can be directly hostile to individuals with exceptional skills and initiative in technical matters. I consider such management of technical people cruel and wasteful.”

[Federico Biancuzzi, Masterminds of Programming: Conversations with the Creators of Major Programming Languages, https://books.google.com/books?id=yB1WwURwBUQC&pg=PA14, 21 March 2009, "O'Reilly Media, Inc.", 978-0-596-55550-4, 14]

“Anybody who comes to you and says he has a perfect language is either naïve or a salesman.”

“One of the things I really like about programming languages is that it's the perfect excuse to stick your nose into any field. So if you're interested in high energy physics and the structure of the universe, being a programmer is one of the best ways to get in there. It's probably easier than becoming a theoretical physicist”

“An organisation that treats its programmers as morons will soon have programmers that are willing and able to act like morons only.”

“Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out.”

“Far too often, "software engineering" is neither engineering nor about software.”

“"How to test?" is a question that cannot be answered in general. "When to test?" however, does have a general answer: as early and as often as possible.”

“Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.”

“"Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling.”

“There are more useful systems developed in languages deemed awful than in languages praised for being beautiful--many more.”

Bjarne Stroustrup's FAQ: What is "legacy code"?, 2007-11-15 http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#legacy,

“The connection between the language in which we think/program and the problems and solutions we can imagine is very close. For this reason restricting language features with the intent of eliminating programmer errors is at best dangerous.”

“If you do anything useful it will haunt you forever after, and if you have a major success you get decades of hard manual labor - meaning you have to work on the manual.”

On his homepage http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#really-say-that, Bjarne Stroustrup states that he did say the above sentence, but also adds "I very much doubt that the sentiment is original."

“Maybe "just one little global variable" isn't too unmanageable, but that style leads to code that is useless except to its original programmer”
