I think part of the new-found interest in C++ is because of mobile and the need for performance. Ten years ago, we would write something in Perl, Python or Ruby and say, "If it runs slow, buy a new computer." Those days are over. Mobile has re-focused everyone. Code performance matters again and C++ is King of performance.

- seanmcdirmid 14y agoC# is ok for CV also, especially if you are just writing some glue code to interface with the GPU (which is probably C++ like CUDA code).
