Has Bjarne Stroustrup made a comment about a language that isnt C or C++(0x)? I saw his comments about C++ CLI but i havent seen him mention anything about another language. Such as D, python, javascript, OCaml, haskel, etc.

If so do you have a link?

(note: omg bjarne-stroustrup has his own tag!)

+9  A: 

Several reviewers asked me to compare C++ to other languages. This I have decided against doing. Thereby, I have reaffirmed a long-standing and strongly held view: Language comparisons are rarely meaningful and even less often fair. A good comparison of major programming languages requires more effort than most people are willing to spend, experience in a wide range of application areas, a rigid maintenance of a detached and impartial point of view, and a sense of fairness. I do not have the time, and as the designer of C++, my impartiality would never be fully credible.
