Even if you dislike C++, or like me, came to loathe it, I highly recommend the book he published in the same year, The Design and Evolution of C++ (https://www.amazon.com/Design-Evolution-C-Bjarne-Stroustrup/...). It's very educational about you go about making a successful language in an existing ecosystem, and even after swearing off the language I don't regret one bit the time I spent reading the book.

It's a solid book, but I wish there was something newer. It's 20 years old now!

how can you loathe C++ without caming to loathe it? i mean, everyone is bound to hate it, but you have to try it first to be sure...
