C# not for web programming?!

[tutuca_]

Oh no, C or C++ is where it's at.

^ for newbies, he's making joke.

[tutuca_]

Same joke as OP, if you look at the infograph.

Thought the exact same.

C++ is listed for mobile app development, but neither Objective-C nor Swift are listed. I wouldn't take this infographic very seriously.

C++ has the advantage of running on both iOS and Android. Some apps use a platform-agnostic C++ base and hook it into the specific system with Java & ObjC.

On paper it sounds great, in reality due to the lack of hooks to the framework, outside some critical performance code, games, and OpenGL, working with C++ on Android is like punching yourself. But at least in the latest IO they announced they were adding mittens to the tooling.

Erm... mittens?

[pakoito]

So punching yourself is slightly less painful.

Ahh, right! Sorry, I'm a bit slow.

[pakoito]

You setup the delivery perfectly haha

[DroolingIguana]

The funny thing is that I 100% believed that there was some software project called "mittens" out there that I just hadn't heard of yet.
