Once nice thing about Fortran's evolution is that when you lag behind the bleeding edge, you make fewer mistakes. If you like C++ that's great; you might notice that everyone else doesn't agree that it's the future.
- FpUser 7y agoC/C++ will be most likely used for many many decades ahead.
- greglindahl 7y agoYes? So will Cobol. So will Latin! I suspect discussing design choices might be more interesting than a popularity comparison.
- FpUser 7y agoFunny that you should mention it. To me it looks like web development is mostly driven by fashion rather then practical choices. Also I suspect that unless something radically good comes out (I do not consider Rust, Go and likes to be the case) C and C++ will stay very active, including new development. I actually do hope that this happens but so far no real candidate.
