An in-depth interview with Bjarne Stroustrup - Video

At Qt World Summit Jesper Pedersen met Bjarne Stroustrup for a discussion on C++, among a lot of other things they talked about:
- Who is C++ for
- Static vs. Dynamic reflection
- Design principals in C++
- Pattern Matching
- import Qt

Guest Bio
Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer and implementer of the C++ programming language. To make C++ a stable and up-to-date base for real-world software development, Bjarne has stuck with its ISO standards effort for 30+ years (so far). Bjarne is also a professor of Computer Science at Columbia University in New York City.
