Far from the hype of Silicon Valley, Mr. Stroustrup is deeply skeptical of Sun's stewardship of Java. In 1979, when he began working on C++, Mr. Stroustrup pleaded with AT&T to forgo the commercialization of C++ and unleash it as a free language for programmers. "I've never liked proprietary languages, and I took great care with C++ to get it out from any possible direct control by AT&T," he recalls. "You can't entrust one person or a corporation with the control of a language. You need an open forum for discussion. If I'd gotten together with some guys from IBM, Digital, and Hewlett-Packard to decide what C++ should look like, that would not have been good." (Many of Mr. Stroustrup's views concerning C++ come from sources that are surprisingly nontechnical. In particular, he doffs his cap to a fellow Dane, the philosopher SΕren Kierkegaard.)
