Description: The creator of the STL gave an interview.
STLport: An Interview with A. Stepanov I was born in Moscow, USSR, on November 16, 1950, and studied Mathematics at the Moscow State University. But I never became a mathematician. I could not really get excited about Tamagawa numbers, Coxeter groups and other things that I was supposed to specialize in. Hardy's hope that his mathematics is never going to be applied is not for me. I need to do something a little bit more real. I was fortunate, however, to see some great mathematicians at work and became totally immune to a pseudo-mathematical rigor that unfortunately is so common in Computer Science. So becoming a programmer was a really good thing for me. In 1972 I became a member of a team developing a new minicomputer to be used to control large hydroelectric power stations. I participated in all parts of the design, from architecture and hardware testing to OS (my first published paper was on real-time operating systems) and programming tools. I learned first hand about both software reliability - power stations are hard to reboot - and efficiency - the water is coming down in real time.
