Keynote Address
Programming Languages - Why Should We Care?
Bjarne Stroustrup, AT&T Labs Research
 A good program just does what it is supposed to do and the user never catches a glimpse at its internals. So why would anyone care what programming language was used to write it? Naturally, programmers will care the most, but aren't all programming languages roughly equivalent? Won't a good programmer build roughly the same system, whatever programming language used? I don't think so, and my opinions on how programmers and their tools matter are reflected in the design of C++.
This talk consists of three parts: the role of programmers and programming languages; the origins, aims, and design rules for C++ described and contrasted to alternatives; and, some key language features of C++ and the design and programming techniques they support.
Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer and original implementor of C++, and the author of The C++ Programming Language and The Design and Evolution of C++. He is the head of AT&T Research's Large-Scale Programming Research department, an AT&T Fellow, and an AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow. Dr. Stroustrup is actively involved in the ANSI/ISO standardization of C++, and the recipient of the 1993 ACM Grace Murray Hopper award. His research interests include distributed systems, operating systems, simulation, design, and programming. He received a PhD from Cambridge University.
