...d Scott Knaster, page 9) EDIT: To satisfy an itch I emailed Brad Cox, the inventor of Objective-C, about the question and he answered with this single line: "Because .o and .c were taken. Simple as that." Here's the email as visual proof: ...

...ming model being worked on by Henrik F Nielson who is basically one of the inventors of HTTP, and he designed the API so it is easy for you to follow the HTTP standard, e.g. generating standards-compliant headers is in the .Net framework 4.5, so it has some guaranteed level of support for the forsee...

...s of Programming, there's an interview about Haskell with Phil Wadler, the inventor of type classes, who explain the similarities between interfaces in Java and type classes in Haskell: A Java method like: public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T min (T x, T y) { if (...

...ssed as answer to another question. I will end this with a quote from the inventor of null himself, C.A.R Hoare (of quicksort fame): I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. At that time, I was designing the first comprehensive type system for ref...

... While this is true and has been observed by other people (take Stepanov, inventor of the STL), the rest is nonsense. OOP may be flawed and it certainly is no silver bullet but it makes large-scale applications much simpler because it's a great way to reduce dependencies. Of course, this is only tr...

...m however does have the advantage of having on board Guido van Rossum, the inventor of Python and an amazingly strong engineer. In terms of flexibility, the Java engine, as already mentioned, does offer the possibility of running JVM bytecode made by different languages, not just Java -- if you're ...

...tive. So this is my opinion: SQL has a pseudo-natural-language style. The inventors believed that they can create a language just like English and that database queries will be very simple. A terrible mistake. SQL is very hard to understand except in trivial cases. SQL is declarative. You can't te...
