RE: C++ - It was a joke

Paul Watson forwarded a funny parody interview with Bjarne Strousrup which claims he wrote C++ as a joke to raise programmers' salaries. It might interest people to read the real interview Stroustrup gave to IEEE Computer a few months after the hoax started. You can find it at his website: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/ieee_interview.html Strousrup suggests that the fictitious interview would have been a much funnier parody had he written it himself.
