Yet another reason high-performance code will continue to be written in c/c++. Every abstraction layer from actual machine architecture severely convolutes the optimization process.
- Qwertious 12y agoOn x86 machines (which includes any standard desktop/laptop PC) C/C++ is compiled into x86 before it can be executed. Writing in C or C++ is actually more abstracted than x86. As a rule, hand-written x86 assembly will outperform C or C++, when both are very thoroughly optimised.
