What a load of nonsense...
1) Neither iOS, nor "the web" are new platforms.
2) Not only you can program with C++ on iOS, it's heavily used in certain kinds of applications.
3) Why would anyone single out a specific language and claim that it's a problem that you can't use it to build websites with it? This applies to all languages with one exception. Or it did, because now there's WebASM, which makes this argument even more bizarre.
4) C++ had and has first-class support on Windows.
- Retric 6y agoC++ is 35 years old significantly older than client side web programming. iOS apps are only 12 years old. So, they both showed up well after C++ was a mainstream language. 2) Objective-C++ may look like C++ but their different languages. As always beware of edge cases. 3) WebAsm is somewhat “supported“ by 92% of web browsers which sounds great but isn’t enough to be viable for companies like Amazon. But hey it’s a cool toy if you don’t have real work to do. 4) I have run into plenty of missing C++ documentation when C# documentation was available on Windows. It’s supported sure, but very much a second class citizen.
