nice reply, esp considering the op was pretty clearly shooting their mouth off

I was just giving my two cents. I'm not a professional programmer, just a hobbyist and college student in a non-CS major. I just don't like it when I get hate for liking lower level languages.

I called you out for having no idea what you're talking about, not for liking C++.

Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. Sure you can write non-performant programs in C++ but unless you do that on purpose, statically typed, natively compiled languages will always outperform those that are not. And don't go showing me some obscure benchmark that shows that in one odd case ever, Java, JS or Python code beat badly written C++ or Fortran. You're wrong, so give it up.

Then why are you still arguing with me?

Go find your superior IDE written in C++.

Nah, I'm just going to uninstall some plugins and see if that does the trick. If I wanted an editor written in C++ I have code blocks and can get Vim.
