Facebook turns to wizened old C++ to power new photo-sharing app
- techdevman 11y agoI have a friend whose company is similarly using C++ for cross-platform components on mobile devices. I find it cool to see C++ getting new wind in its sails. Originally of course that was one of its strengths (following in the footsteps of the C language), but with each mobile platform having its own preferred development language, and with C++ not being a popular choice for web backends, it fell out of fashion. Seems like that is starting to change now.
