Why is the C++ programming language so popular amongst you, /g/?
>>54784756
Because no one /g/ actually is a real software developer
If you go Java it means your a code monkey
>>54784812
Why?
I mainly use Python, but got nothing against Java or C++
>>54784787
Ok Ranjeet, hows you java script these days, Microsoft not paying as well as it used to?
>>54784756
Because it's the best language that currently exists that is multi platform and doesn't require a bloated VM or proprietary runtime.
It's basically just C with objects for making UI's and shit, Anyone that hates it is literally retarded.
>>54784845
"Ranjeet" is not even indian name LOL #Racistfail
>>54785902
>I know what is and what is not Indian name
Never knew Stalin was Indian, the more you know.
>>54785929
Did i somewhere say Stalin is indian..? No, I did'nt. So stfu

I started with C and Python and C++ was "easy" to learn.
C++ is really cool. You can use your C code and if you don't know the C++ way of it, you can use the C-style for this.
Also inline asm is possible which gives you much might.
I also don't like the syntax of Java or C#.
It's not. Everyone here talks about how bad it is and how C is better. The reason for that is >>54784787. /g/ is full of 1st year CS students and NEETs

C++ was a joke from the beginning

>Well, one day, when I was sitting in my office, I thought of this little scheme, which would redress the balance a little. I thought ‘I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with programmers? Actually, I got some of the ideas from X10, you know, X windows. That was such a bitch of a graphics system, that it only just ran on those Sun 3/60 things.. They had all the ingredients for what I wanted. A really ridiculously complex syntax, obscure functions, and pseudo-OO structure. Even now, nobody writes raw X-windows code. Motif is the only way to go if you want to retain your sanity..
this is gold

The way I learned it:
Python is for web development or quick prototyping
Java is software engineering
C++ is software engineering with hubris
C for embedded systems that doesn't use a Linux stack
I am a embedded systems developer. We have some projects written in C++. Some other projects are written in C, but the most is written in C++. It's used because of the complexity and hardware of the project.
C++ has everything, you can do low level programming, but also do surface programming and everything between. Another big point is, that c++ can run on nearly everything: on x86 (unix, windows..), arm(arduino..).

>python is for web development
python doesnt even run in a """"web"""" browser you mong
>>54784756
C# and Visual Studio 2015

^Python^Clojure
Also, I'm of the school of thought that you shouldn't prototype in a different language than what you're implementing in.
>>54791676
I always made sure to prototype in a language that was way outside of the company's stable. When I was working with a bunch of C or C++ devs, I'd use Lisp, Haskell, Smalltalk, etc depending on the era/problem. If I didn't do this there was always too much risk of some pointy-hair putting the prototype into production.

Tripfag please go
>>54789591
Python can be used for the backend like a PHP replacement.
Python is a multipurpose language though.
Just werks. No gimmicks.
I feel it would be the best language to work in for digital signal processing stuff
Unless /g/ could enlighten me to better languages (and why)
>>54786769
>I thought ‘I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with programmers?
Haskell?
UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!
>>54791676
It works if you work within the similarities of the languages.
>>54792250
>figuratively
got that right for once
>>54784756
Because everyone here is still in their unis lower level cs classes--learning about what people did in the industry in 2006.
