When you have written something in Java or C# that sells well, I'll rewrite the same app in C++. My selling point will be a side by side comparison in performance.
- eriksank 14y agoThe C++ implementation will still lose from an implementation that did the low-level mechanisms -- aka the 1% inner loops -- in C and the remainder with a scripting engine. C++ will not be faster but it will surely be more complicated to deal with. Java and C# are not really the alternatives. It is C + scripting that is.
- pkolaczk 14y agoA few percent higher performance is not something that will buy you customers. Especially that after you finish your rewrite, the original will have more features, better stability (already used and proven in production) and... very likely better performance. The biggest impact on performance has architecture an quality of algorithms, not the low-level aspects. People still like Java Minecraft better than thousands of its C++ clones.
