Quoting C

I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. — Alan Kay

There are only two things wrong with C++: The initial concept and the implementation. — Bertrand Meyer

Whenever the C++ language designers had two competing ideas as to how they should solve some problem, they said, “OK, we’ll do them both”. So the language is too baroque for my taste. — Donald Knuth

Und mein absoluter Favorit:
c++; /* this makes c bigger but returns the old value */ — Unknown
