Uhm performance?
- qznc 14y agoC for performance. If you need better abstractions (generics, OO, etc) you can switch to C++.
- pizza 14y agoCould you be a little more specific? What makes C++ faster than, say, Visual Basic 6? Just curious.
- ergest 14y agoC is designed and optimized to be very close to the hardware, in fact it's called high-level assembler. You can access specific hardware features directly. C++ is the OO version of C (yes I know this is an oversimplification). Other languages, like for example Java creates a logical layer (known as the java virtual machine or JVM) which adds more complexity and makes it harder to tweak your code to fit the particular hardware.
