We will all be using dynamically typed languages with garbage collection in the future. Because manual memory allocation is too hard and static typing sucks. Clearly the future belongs to Lisp!

In the future, is there a C++ advocacy newsgroup, or perhaps one for all languages? If so, please use it. We don't want to fill the future archives with too many opinion flame wars. -- Thomas Matthews C++ newsgroup welcome message: http://www.slack.net/~shiva/welcome.txt C++ Faq: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite C Faq: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/c-faq/top.html alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ faq: http://www.comeaucomputing.com/learn/faq/ Other sites: http://www.josuttis.com -- C++ STL Library book http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl -- Standard Template Library Back to top michaelkatsilis@yahoo.com Guest Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 2:37 am    Post subject: Re: C++ won't survive the next 10 years What will they do the cobol programmers? Will they be hunted down and recursed? What happens to the bank programs? Maybe they'll self destruct, or automatically convert themselves to Basic for "ease???" of maintenance?

I doubt it by 2007 but maybe by 2015 C++ may have gone but only because C# and Java will have replaced it. Ironically C90 will still be in widespread use in embedded systems Quote: The world will soon be tired of C++ programming Yes but only because other languages are more popular. Quote: and it will be outlawed, banned worldwide, Hardly... Quote: and FORTRAN and Basic will be the only authorized programming languages. FORTRAN and BASIC don't exist on that many platforms.

Imagine running the successor of Windows running under a basic interpreter! *shudder* That is - if Windows still exists. But may be they can stand their ground with VB. :DDDDD -- "All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by." http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~frst-ii/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
