no language is ever going to be 100% replaced, but C++ has largely replaced C and Swift will likely largely replace Objective-C. this article obviously isn’t discussing whether something will wipe C++ off the face of the earth but that it might replace most of its use cases. why are you nitpicking over the word replace?
- LeFantome 4y agoLanguages do get replaced. It is just taking them longer and longer. How much ALGOL do you see out there? There will be almost no Objective C at some point. There will be almost no Visual Basic.NET at some point. A C++ replacement may take longer than the rest of my life. It is possible though that we may not be that many years away that, for new projects, it may be uncommon to choose an “unsafe” language.
