If they're going to implement it as well, then that's perfect. They now know which language they should be using with their proficiency.
In some other team, Java might have been #1. The overall best results with a great team would almost certainly be achievable by using C++.
But this is what worked for them.
- jolmg 7y agoYes, for them that's great, but their statement sounds like they're suggesting their results would apply for everyone.
- vardump 7y agoFunny how people think what works for them works for everyone... so easy to fall into that trap even with the best intentions.
- Traster 7y agoBut....why? They could've just saved themselves the trouble and said "Anyone fancy doing this in C++? No. Great, that's that tricky question off the table!" Rather thna going through this ridiculous exercise of writing bad C++ in order to justify not using C++. If we really believe that this is just a way of idnetifying a revealed preference fine, but engineers should be smart enough to not need to trick thesmlves into coming to the obvious conclusion.
