he didn't say that
he said once that static analysis of c++ is not possible because of the halting problem though
and he did create c++, which i use daily
i find it to be the language for other languages to learn how to absolutely not do it
it is the programming equivalent of that first scene in scary movie 1 where the woman first picks the banana instead of the gun and then runs in the direction "danger" instead of "safety" and gets run over by her distracted dad getting a blowjob in the car
