C++ was always the language for constructing paradigms you choose with underlying mechanism you want.
- pjmlp 7y agoJust like PL/I, Object Pascal, Ada, Lisp,... C++ wasn't the first multi-paradigm language, and it won't be the last.
- saagarjha 7y agoIt’s probably the most popular one, though.
- de_watcher 7y agoI said multi-paradigm plus the ability to comfortably do the implementation to lowest level. AFAIK Lisp is not that low-level, Object Pascal is okay but generics/codegen are 20 years too late for example, PL/I is a pile of every known feature at the time by design but it's hard to tell now.
