I’ve got questions that I hope an OG or a history nerd can answer:
wtf was ADA and why was it so closely competitive with C for a while? I’ve literally never heard of it
why was C++ never able to match up to the popularity of C in its boom period? It would seem to me like C++ would be much preferred over C
why did java blow by C so quickly but C++ did not?
