C++ creator talks about the future of programming
Behind the scenes of CERN’s accelerators and detectors, millions of lines of code help turn particle collisions into scientific knowledge. One of the programming languages behind that work is C++, used to control detectors, process data and simulate particle interactions. On 14 July, its creator, Bjarne Stroustrup, filled CERN’s Main Auditorium for his seminar 21st
