Not C++? The initial form of the language is the work of a single person,
Bjarne Stroustroup, who developed it incrementally, giving out versions
to users and accepting feedback.

The enhancement of templates in C++ into their modern form was due to the
desire of the standardization committee to adopt the Standard Template
Library into the standard. This library was the work of Alexander Stepanov.
