C++: The Documentary

Article excerpt

A documentary about C++, the programming language created in 1985, has been released. Herb Sutter, a prominent C++ standards committee member, announced the film's availability on his blog. The documentary appears to chronicle the language's history, design philosophy, and evolution over four decades. Given C++'s widespread use in systems programming, game engines, and performance-critical applications, the film targets both developers and technology historians interested in how one of computing's most influential languages came to be.
