Why is the C++ programming language so popular amongst you, Sup Forums?

Because no one Sup Forums actually is a real software developer

If you go Java it means your a code monkey

Why?
I mainly use Python, but got nothing against Java or C++

Ok Ranjeet, hows you java script these days, Microsoft not paying as well as it used to?

Because it's the best language that currently exists that is multi platform and doesn't require a bloated VM or proprietary runtime.

It's basically just C with objects for making UI's and shit, Anyone that hates it is literally retarded.

"Ranjeet" is not even indian name LOL #Racistfail

>I know what is and what is not Indian name
Never knew Stalin was Indian, the more you know.

Did i somewhere say Stalin is indian..? No, I did'nt. So stfu

I started with C and Python and C++ was "easy" to learn.

C++ is really cool. You can use your C code and if you don't know the C++ way of it, you can use the C-style for this.
Also inline asm is possible which gives you much might.

I also don't like the syntax of Java or C#.

It's not. Everyone here talks about how bad it is and how C is better. The reason for that is . Sup Forums is full of 1st year CS students and NEETs

C++ was a joke from the beginning

>Well, one day, when I was sitting in my office, I thought of this little scheme, which would redress the balance a little. I thought ‘I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with programmers? Actually, I got some of the ideas from X10, you know, X windows. That was such a bitch of a graphics system, that it only just ran on those Sun 3/60 things.. They had all the ingredients for what I wanted. A really ridiculously complex syntax, obscure functions, and pseudo-OO structure. Even now, nobody writes raw X-windows code. Motif is the only way to go if you want to retain your sanity..
this is gold

The way I learned it:

Python is for web development or quick prototyping

Java is software engineering

C++ is software engineering with hubris

C for embedded systems that doesn't use a Linux stack

I am a embedded systems developer. We have some projects written in C++. Some other projects are written in C, but the most is written in C++. It's used because of the complexity and hardware of the project.
C++ has everything, you can do low level programming, but also do surface programming and everything between. Another big point is, that c++ can run on nearly everything: on x86 (unix, windows..), arm(arduino..).

>python is for web development

python doesnt even run in a """"web"""" browser you mong

C# and Visual Studio 2015

He probably means the back-end

>Python is for web development or quick prototyping
^Python^Clojure

Also, I'm of the school of thought that you shouldn't prototype in a different language than what you're implementing in.

I always made sure to prototype in a language that was way outside of the company's stable. When I was working with a bunch of C or C++ devs, I'd use Lisp, Haskell, Smalltalk, etc depending on the era/problem. If I didn't do this there was always too much risk of some pointy-hair putting the prototype into production.

Tripfag please go

Python can be used for the backend like a PHP replacement.
Python is a multipurpose language though.

Just werks. No gimmicks.

I feel it would be the best language to work in for digital signal processing stuff
Unless Sup Forums could enlighten me to better languages (and why)

>I thought ‘I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with programmers?
Haskell?

UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!

It works if you work within the similarities of the languages.

>figuratively
got that right for once

Because everyone here is still in their unis lower level cs classes--learning about what people did in the industry in 2006.
