- 0xcde4c3db 9y agoI don't know how or to what extent it's organized, but I've noticed a considerable effort promoting C++ per se (not scoped to a particular dialect/platform/product) in the past ~5 years. Outlets like isocpp.org and CppCon seem to have done a lot to raise the profile of the language.
- kamaal 9y ago>>There is a resurgence of C++ among younger developers. C++ is the only tool of choice for the time limitations online judges like hackerrank have. So most people submitting code there are basically writing it in C++. Also most people using C++ there are using a very minimal subset of C++, which would largely look like C with things like vectors<int> etc. That doesn't say anything about production uses of such languages.
- christophilus 9y agoYeah. I suspect you're right. When I've done HackerRank, I've done it in Clojure, but the handful of times that was too slow (due to boot speed, I think), I solved the problems in Go.
