Look ma, my article!

Much more interesting though, is the special DDJ issue about C++ successor languages in 1993, already 33 years ago it as a subject relevant enough to warrant a full issue dedicated to it.

"Special issue, Beyond C++"

For all the complaints regarding language names one cannot search for, AT&T wins with C+@, yep that was the name.

The year thereafter, Perl and TCL were still considered alternative languages, before the Web really took off.

Or how safety in systems programming is being discussed in the Modula-3 and Oberon articles.

What a blast-from-the-past!

I still have stacks of DDJ, C/C++ Users Journal, SysAdmin, and The Perl Journal issues in my library. They are right beside some O'Reilly books from the same era I shant part from anytime soon.

My guess is that you have implemented a C++ standard library "back in the day." If so, I do not have one of your books but do have what I call "the I/O streams black book"[0]. The C++ I/O streams library was very much underrated IMHO.

Nah, I am flattered, it was a simple article advocating for Gtkmm and Gnomemm.
