C++ had no virtual destructors, but it did have a coroutine library! I spent 2 years teaching C++ and OOP. In 2000, he switched over to Java. But by 2010, he started 7 wonderful years writing in Ruby. In 2016, he returned to a completely different C++, where one never had to see a pointer if you didn’t want to. These days he is helping to make the world a better place writing C++ code for LADE GmbH, a company building electric car charging infrastructure.Show NotesDate Recorded: 2023-10-18Date Released: 2023-10-20Jonathan O’Connor Meeting C++ BioMeeting C++ ConferenceAlices adventures in Template Land - Jonathan O’Connor - Meeting C++ 2018Ruby String to_iRuby Integer to_sRuby Slices ..Number of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Country Wide for RwandaPython Index SlicingM-Pesa appCommon LispFranz LispFranz Liszt (composer)DylanPicoLispHistory of Lisps YouTube Video (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Chapter 1.1Rosetta Code: QuineLightning Talk: How to Write a Quine? - Dmitry Kandalov [ ACCU 2021 ]Quine-Relay (Uroboros)ACL2 LanguageIntro Song InfoMiss You by Sarah Jansen https://soundcloud.com/sarahjansenmusicCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/l-miss-youMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/iYYxnasvfx8
