Bjarne Stroustrup: C++

Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of C++, a programming language
that after 40 years is still one of the most popular and powerful
languages in the world. Its focus on fast, stable, robust code
underlies many of the biggest systems in the world that we have
come to rely on as a society. If you're watching this on YouTube,
many of the critical back-end component of YouTube are written in
C++. Same goes for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, most
Microsoft applications, Adobe applications, most database systems,
and most physical systems that operate in the real-world like cars,
robots, rockets that launch us into space and one day will land us
on Mars. This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence
