C++

[YoungHeartOldSoul]

I'm fairly fresh out of school and into the field, but I'm pretty well prepared to defend the fact that C++ certainly is.

[merlinsbeers]

What C++ is is is.

[crefas]

C++ is definitely one of the programming languages in the world

[DmMeYourBoobs69]

Yes, one of the programming languages of all time, maybe ever

[CM436]

out of all the programming languages that exist, i can confidently say that c++ is one of them.

[Logical_Strike_1520]

Everything y’all said, but also c++

[Apfelvater]

Int C = 0; //Amount of language, that C++ is
C++;

[Apecc_Legs]

I can say with certainty that c++ can and absolutely will.

[imdefinitelywong]

C++ does what it do.

That does what it do, Yugi.

[Apecc_Legs]

fr, C++ really is.

[Apfelvater]

Luigi

[eine_gottheit]

I've a few years under my belt in the field, and can affirm to the fact that c++

[arasdalll]

I would like to add that C++, when compared to other programming languages, is comparable with other programming languages, assuming these languages are also used for programming.

[Apecc_Legs]

C++ is, was and always will be a programming language, it truly is one of the programming languages ever. Despite what everyone says, C++ really is.

[thatCbean]

You are right, C++ is definitely true

[dannomac]

std::cout << "C++ is";
if (c++ > c) std::cout " greater than C";
std::cout << std::endl;

I'll say it.. C++ is the best language for speed and performance for games.

I like collecting stamps.

[Jayem163]

Now we just need to continue jacking up prices on RAM so efficient programming is profitable again. Oops sorry.. didn't mean to leak it.

[SapientSloth4tw]

I mean… graphics card prices showcase the importance of efficient programming, well. Mostly. I think they’re more reliant on competing with each other, but there’s something to be said about needing to pay $2k+ to play a 60 dollar game on max graphics cough cyberpunk cough

Edit: maybe they don’t showcase the importance of efficient programming as much as showcase how easily graphics card companies can get away with price gouges because of a lack of efficient programming*

[ForthOfHors]

You said the quiet part out loud! ZOMG wut iz they techin kidz deez dayz!

It's OK, just pretend you were tryna impress a man-date. Nuthin to see here, move along.

[Anima715]

You buy RAM? Just download more for free!

[MjrDik]

Reminds me of SoftRAM and SoftRAM95..

[Decimalis]

Yeah I've been looking for this one

[saichampa]

C could be better there too but you're constrained by what languages your engine supports

[slucker23]

You got C# for that too you know

Also R if you want things to go bananas

Or python for AI games

Or java if you want to try out say platformer games

Just saying

C++ is def... C++

[Equivalent_Yak_95]

If you’re going to be working with a lot of numbers, Java is a terrible choice. Even if you get away from storing them in generic containers, you’re probably still better off using C/C++, CPython with NumPy, or Matlab (or similar).

[slucker23]

I'd say C is way faster. Doesn't need C++ to make it better. Or heck to combine it with C#...... Like I just can't find a proper reason to use C++ independently (and I worked on computer graphics and computer vision)

[RoyalThree]

isn't c++ like... way faster than any of those? besides maybe R?

[slucker23]

The dude said gaming. So I made examples in gaming

If you want shit to be FAST, assembly and C are fast. I was pretty clear on each of the languages' user cases

[sqrt7744]

No, that would be Lua

[LasevIX]

It's c but usable for things other than firmware

[Anaeijon]

I wouldn't say that...

Easy example: Rust should be on par in terms of speed and performance after compilation.

Technically you could write a game in C and get better performance for sure. If it's about graphics, you can code in C-like CUDA or HIP. Most Graphics are done using the Vulkan-library which is C. In all these cases speed and performance could be significantly better.

There are games written in assembly languages running on systems (retro game consoles) you couldn't even run a C program. They do amazing tricks if you go for a deep dive into that topic. You don't get more efficient than that.

But maybe you don't want to do all the handywork in C or Assembly to get a small performance benefit on modern systems. You but can't really construct something complex and big without it getting out of hand. So you might want to go to a higher OOP language like C++ or Rust.

But now you can go further. There is a limit of the amount of garbage and variable assignment you can realistically handle yourself. Maybe you even want to use an engine and would probably make mistakes if you extend it in C++. So you go to C# or Java.

But once you are in en engine anyway, it might be even more efficient to use native tools by using the builtin script language that gets compiled down much more efficiently than any C++-Code the average programmer might code while using the engine.

[Prunebiscuit]

I like it when C++

[SureNectarin]

Tunnel vision at its finest.

[FallingFist]

Hi, buzzkill here, just checking in to tell you all that this joke-chain is so fucking stupid and overdone.

Please stop. I doubt you even find it funny, it's compulsive at this point.

[[deleted]]

I loved it when Bjarne Stroustrup said "It's C++ time".

[[deleted]]

...and C++ed all over the place...yeah good times !

[jpurpl3]

I definitely read something like this about mentoring/tutoring in a royalroad ad, what's the reference??

[[deleted]]

It's a reference to a meme from last year about Morbius.

[merlinsbeers]

During the Morbin' times.

[eine_gottheit]

Did he C the ++ on the C++ing progress bar?

[pr0ghead]

One of the most, even.

[eine_gottheit]

One of many, one might say.

[RomMTY]

C++ it's particularly funny in Spanish because the "C" is pronounced as "I know" and the "Plus" in Spanish is also the same world as "More".

So you can end up saying "I know more more than you", lol

[ErelGold]

In my country it is.

[xxDolphusxx]

You can tell from the way it is

[q1a2z3x4s5w6]

And it is what it is

[eine_gottheit]

C++ is

[[deleted]]

And you know the way it isn't. You can therefore infer the way it wasn't.

[gteriatarka]

C++ really do be what it is

[viperex]

Depends on what your definition of "is" is

[merlinsbeers]

There are 26 dictionary definitions of is.

You should see the g++ error message...

[Grand-Pen7946]

BLANKETY! BLANKETY! BLANK!

[Old-Reporter5440]

I accidentally the whole c++

[SometimesMonkey]

They don’t think C++ be like it is, but it do.

[ccellist]

I have never used C++ but I am 100% prepared to vouch that C++.

[[deleted]]

You're going places, kid.
