The Stack Overflow Podcast - He designed C++ to solve your code problems

Ryan welcomes Bjarne Stroustrup, designer of C++ and professor at Columbia, to the show to dive into all things C++, from its history to where it's going today. They discuss its first emergence as a way to bridge high-level abstractions with low-level systems control, the criticisms some have around memory safety and null pointers (and how to solve these problems in your code), and why “move to Rust” thinking is too simplistic for modern codebases. 

Episode notes: 

Keep up with everything happening with C++ at the Standard C++ Foundation’s website

Congrats to Populist badge winner Michael Sorens for winning the badge for their answer to PowerShell equivalent for "head -n-3"?.
