What are people using C++ for in 2019? Last time I used it was for a Qt desktop application of all things. I would imagine its main usage is in high performance or hardware constrained environments these days, but I'm curious what people are doing with it.
I do a lot of node.js programming, which uses C++ to write extensions, so here's hoping I rememeber it if/when I need to.
- gpderetta 7y agoWell, apparently it is pretty good to write VMs for other languages.
- zelly 7y agohigh frequency trading, AAA video games, aerospace, compilers, audio, self-driving cars, search engines, subways If it's important, it's using C++.
- gpderetta 7y agoSubways?!? Tell me more!
- missblit 7y agoWhy I'm using it to write a Qt desktop program of course. Actually a bit frustrating, since Qt is very opinionated in a way that hasn't aged well with newer C++ standards, but it is probably one of the best cross platform UI libraries.
