c++ does a good job
- gaius 8y agoI have been looking to get into C++ with CNTK actually... I think this might be the next big thing. People don’t realise how close to a high-level language C++ is nowadays with C++14 compliance in every major compiler In fact I am sure that advocates of Go, Rust et al are really comparing them to C++98 and would be very pleasantly surprised by C++14
- pjmlp 8y agoA few advocates of safer systems programming languages, regardless of which ones, happen to use C++, are up to date with C++17 and follow up on ISO C++'s work. Thing is, no matter how much better C++ gets, preventing some groups to use it as "C compiled with C++ compiler" is fighting windmills.
- hellofunk 8y agoI love C++ but it is hard to deny the vast workflow improvements that come with languages that utilize a REPL, like Python or Julia or Matlab/Octave. Being able to poke at your code or data and experiment without a compile/run/debug cycle is a huge advantage to productivity.
- gaius 8y agoit is hard to deny the vast workflow improvements that come with languages that utilize a REPL I’m using cling, part of ROOT, for that https://root.cern.ch/cling https://root.cern.ch/cling
- hellofunk 8y agoThat's cool, but it's hardly the idiomatic workflow for C++. Maybe that will change; it should!
