The Story of C++: The World's Most Consequential Programming Language The Official Story (Category Documentary)

#Documentary #Engineering #Software #History #Architecture #Science

Yesterday I left. film The official history of the C++ language, which most people don't see directly, but uses its results every day. C++ is not just another programming language. This is the invisible infrastructure of the modern world: games, operating systems, finance, hardware, graphics, simulations, high-load services. A language that is loved, scolded, and tried to be replaced, and that still carries a huge layer of digital civilization.

I think that the film will be interesting not only for C++ developers, but for all engineers and technical leaders. It’s about how engineering becomes culture, how complex tools survive decades, and why some technologies become the foundation for everything else. In general, I highly recommend this film to watch - I watched it myself with great pleasure, although I never wrote the production code on the pluses:) I especially liked the fact that there were a large number of key contributors to the development of the language, starting with Björn Stroustrup.
