Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of the C++ programming language and a former researcher at Bell Labs. We talked about what Bell Labs was like, programming language design, and interesting anecdotes from his experience.

We also explored some of the ideas and experiences that have shaped his approach to programming and language design over the years. From the early days of C++ to the broader lessons learned from working with other researchers and engineers, this conversation offers a glimpse into the thinking behind one of the most influential programming languages in use today.
