In Defense of C++
I&#x27;ve developed quite a bit in C, C++, Python, Go, Ruby, and Java&#x2F;Coffee script and a hand full of others.<p>The thing is, of all the languages I code in C++ is my favorite. It is the most performant (using C where necessary), and is as easy to code in as JavaScript IMO. C++14 (and higher) feels like coding in Go or Python.<p>I feel most people don&#x27;t actually have experience enough with modern C++ and are trying to use the 90&#x27;s version of C++. The 90&#x27;s version is awful, and even the modern has a few quirks. However, when you need performance and something less than C it&#x27;s amazing.
