While people are ranting about C++'s warts I'm having a great time writing performant but clean DSP code and getting paid for it. I don't give a shit if there's some imaginary pristine alternative.
- rayiner 15y agoI used to write high-performance embedded C++ code (and get paid for it). I'd still rather use a JVM language for the general logic and drop down to low-level C/assembler for the really performance-critical stuff. The only thing I'd use C++ for these days is where it's minimal runtime support requirements come in handy (e.g. runtimes for other languages).
- cageface 15y agoSure. I'd use Scala if the situation allows. But these days I'm doing realtime DSP & OpenGL stuff and I'm very happy I don't have to do this in a language as low-level as C.
