Not slow in the context of programming... Hard to explain. But it's definitely not the best language
-
aul122418yC++ is on of the fastest languages around (besides assembly and well optimized c). Why shouldn't it be a language, if c++ is no language what do you see as a language.
-
AdrianD3618yIt depends you know, I personally love c++ and it is by far my favorite language. What I mean is that 'x' is better than 'y' is just a matter of preferences. Most of the time a well designed code will run well regardless of the language. So use whatever language you like but don't judge others for using something else. :)
-
@AdrianD that originally was the opinion I tried to talk about. I personally think it's not good for games but I keep getting said from non programmers that it is the absolutely best for games and everything... That's the thing that annoys me
-
They dont even make games in c++, they make the engines in c++ and the games in some kinda script
-
C++ is one of the fastest and most powerful languages out there when you're coding with optimization in mind.
-
anekix3948yIt's not meant for developing games???Were you high when you wrote this? It's such a fucking awesome language.speed ,beauty,elegance it has got it all. I understand y people bash down CPP it's because it needs passion dedication and understanding of computer fundamentals
-
@anekix I don't want to bash c++ directly... I HATE it when people keep saying I should use c++ for my games.
-
anekix3948y@SteffTek it's a right suggestion u need to use it u want pursue for game programming.try writing a quality raytracer or some fluid mechanics in python or c# or java .Once you start loving programming cpp u will be amazed in how simple manner u can express your ideas.it becomes a flow then
-
aaeim3168yAn other reason to learn C++ is because 99.9% of the interviewers are going to ask you if you can C++...
On a less related but arguably more alarming topic, how is this not a rant? -
@aaeim I didn't even typed the !rant it was just there :0 and I already am employed, but not as programmer that's my hobby.
-
anekix3948y@SteffTek sure you should try it once but don't give up early .Practise until you become a master and ready to command ;)
-
Well, most highend games are written in C++. So his statement is right.
C++ is not slow. It is almost as fast as C is. Its faster than Java, C#, Python, and most other languages.
Do not punch. -
pesaply6998yAre we ranting about the c++ you get from failing math or the one from the movie the internship by Vaughn or C++ programming language , because I wish I was good in C++ like HTML haha
-
Admit it, you were trying to have an intelligent conversion about programming on a gaming forum, right? Just don't, it's not possible.
Also avoid the hobbyist game programming sites too. They're usually populated with untalented NEETs who fancy being Indy game developers (since all they do with their life is play games). One of the many reasons game dev is a slum. -
@SteffTek That's odd. Something to do with the tags?
Maybe a C++ loving moderator did it! That would be pretty unfair, as your post absolutely is a legit rant. It's one of the few on the front page that actually is a rant. Normally sort-by-algo is a write-off due to all the non-rant posts like memes and jokes.

"The best programming language is C++ because games were made with it" OH MY FUCKING GOD JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Do you guys get this unbelievable dump statement too? I could punch every person who ever said dat 😑 Not is is absolutely wrong, C++ isn't even a got language! It's painfully FUCKING slow!! Why the fuck do people say something before they get their freaking brain to work! 😑😑😑
I FUCKING HATE ARGUING WITH THOSE PEOPLE. THEY NEVER ACCEPT OTHER OPINIONS.
