The father of C ++ was not happy about Bitcoin being written in the language he created

The father of one of the most popular programming languages ​​in the world at the moment: C ++, recently said that he was very dissatisfied with the famous Bitcoin currency written in the language. language created by me.

Specifically in an interview on Monday 11/11, Bjarne Stroustrup, author of the programming language C ++, spent some time to express his thoughts on the C ++ language is currently being The world's top developers use to write lots of popular applications. Bjarne Stroustrup said that most of the applications he liked and appreciated, but there are some exceptions. Those are the tools and applications that Stroustrup does not want them to be written in his own language, but he cannot control it, despite being the author of C ++.

Among the applications that the creator of C ++ does not like, the most notable is the world's most popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, developed by programming expert Satoshi Nakamoto based on the C ++ language.

'I'm very happy and proud that C ++ is being used to write great applications. But I also expect some other applications if not appearing, or at least not written by C ++. Bitcoin is a good example. I think this gold coin is bringing the world more negative systems than positive ones, for example, it consumes too much energy and is mainly used in non-trading activities. France on the black web market, 'says Bjarne Stroustrup.

Indeed, the debate surrounding Bitcoin's energy consumption is real. Bitcoin mining, basically, means using an enormous amount of electricity to run advanced computer systems to solve a complex mathematical puzzle, the reward here is digital money. .

Typically, miners and miners will immediately sell the bitcoins they earn to cover the cost of investing in the electricity bill hardware system. Although this activity can bring huge profits in many cases, Bjarne Stroustrup said that consuming so much electricity is difficult to accept in the context of the world's energy security situation is still very much. painful issues like today.

Of course that's just the personal thoughts of Bjarne Stroustrup. C ++ is still a great language nonetheless, and Bitcoin is still an important invention to the world - to some extent.
