Bjarne Stroustrup Awarded 2017 Faraday Medal
Took a class with him in college, perhaps one of the smartest people I've had the opportunity to meet.Nobody tells a story quite like Bjarne, and nothing beats the classes he would open with a story straight out of Bell Labs. Him and his brilliant TA, David (if you're reading this definitely send me a message!), were awesome in showing not just how C++ has been built over the years, but how a steadfast approach to building a culture focused on particular metrics was crucial to C++'s development (and to the development of any other project as well).Congratulations Bjarne; learned a lot about benchmarking from your class!
