“The Story of C++: The World’s Most Consequential Programming Language | The Official Story” was released recently, and it is a must-watch if you are passionate about software engineering, systems programming, or tech history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am excited to share that this documentary features video footage from Herb Sutter<\/a>‘s fantastic presentation at the BeCPP Symposium 2026<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On a personal note, I am honored to see a small fragment of one of my own CppCon sessions included in the final cut. Being a tiny part of telling the story of a language that powers so much of our modern world is surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A huge congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this documentary to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u27a1\ufe0f Watch it here:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lI7tMxzSJ7w<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tom Tesch<\/a>, Koen Samyn<\/a>, and myself are committed to organizing the symposium again in 2027!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “The Story of C++: The World’s Most Consequential Programming Language | The Official Story” was released recently, and it is a must-watch if you are passionate about software engineering, systems programming, or tech history.
