This gave us enough confidence in the new technologies to decide to continue the development. Finally, after about four months we had a histogramming package that was faster and more efficient than the well-known FORTRAN based HBOOK histogramming package. Again, a few weeks later we had another rewrite of the package without templates since we could only compile the version with templates on one single platform using a specific compiler.
A few weeks later we had a rewrite of the same package using the, at that time, very new template features of C++. After a few weeks, we had our first histogramming package in C++.
We knew that there is no better way to learn a new programming environment than to use it to write a program that can solve a real problem. In late 1994, we decided to learn and investigate Object Oriented programming and C++ to better judge the suitability of these relatively new techniques for scientific programming.
