I found this .txt file on the interent awhile back.I forgot where it came from but I think it was from www.textfiles.com ! Now it goes into an interview with c++ creator stoustrup. Is he the creator? The thing that irritates me is that he "supposedly" created this language so it would be so hard that top programmers would be a dime a dozen and would be paid more. Just looking at a c++ book at the library confirms that to me! But I will have to learn this and I will but thats not the point!

Stroustrup: Well, one day, when I was sitting in my office, I thought of
this little scheme, which would redress the balance a little. I thought 'I
wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so
difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with
programmers? Actually, I got some of the ideas from X10, you know, X
windows. That was such a bitch of a graphics system, that it only just ran
on those Sun 3/60 things. They had all the ingredients for what I wanted.
A really ridiculously complex syntax, obscure functions, and pseudo-OO
structure. Even now, nobody writes raw X-windows
code. Motif is the only way to go if you want to retain your sanity.
umm just wanted to see your guys feed back!
