Currently Playing: A Brief History of Bjarne Stroustrup, the Creator of C++

In this portrait, we meet Bjarne Stroustrup where we talk about his childhood, his accidental entry into computer science (what is "datologi" anyway?), and the ideas that shaped one of the most influential programming languages ever made -- among many, many other things... like how pronouncing his last name involves a potato. With no marketing campaign and no "sugar daddy" to speak of (as Bjarne puts it), today C++ underpins everything from operating systems to space exploration, and Bjarne is still teaching, speaking, and writing code. The man loves programming -- what else can we say! Bjarne features in our upcoming C++ documentary, arriving mid-year, which was made possible thanks to Hudson River Trading.
