The 72-year-old creator of C++ gave a forward-looking keynote address last month as the programming language’s annual convention. As the C++ community gathered for “CppCon” C++ conference in Aurora, Colorado, Bjarne Stroustrup promised his audience a talk that would first identify the specific kinds of safety measures needed in a programming language, and “Then I’m going to show you that we’ve been creeping up on that for a few decades.” Stroustrup took some time to address critics who say the problem is C++ itself, and the solution is switching to another language.
