No modern language compares favorably to C++, in any respect really. I programmed in many languages apart from C++: C#, Java, Javascript, AS2, AS3, you name it, and after using all those languages for some time and being able to compare them with C++ my conclusion is this: I am not looking to start any kind of “language war”. I’m not a language zealot, fanatic or kid who thinks only the toy he has is best. If I have a choice between ferrari and ford fiesta and the likes why on earth would I choose anything but ferrari? If someone asks me why do I prefer C++ over anything else I simply reply: I became addicted to learning C++ as geeky as that may sound, I never felt that way about the other languages I’ve since dabbled with (which if anything I find frustrating for all their hand holding and so called ease of am totally with you.Ĭ++ is the language to go for if you are interested in:Į) beauty - yes! it is beautiful language which so much possibilities that no other (current) language can compare or even come close to.Īnd may I just say that gaming industry is the industry where every “tick” matters and C++ is simply unbeatable where it comes to performance.
#What programming language does unreal engine 4 use code#
With C++ I felt there was literally nothing I couldn’t create, on a technical level, and knowing it was may more likely to run my code at far faster speeds than higher level languages was a massive incentive to roll my sleeves up and dig in.

I figured if I’m going to spend years learning something I may as well shoot for the top of the tree (no, not assembly or machine code lol). I went from ‘BASIC’ (on the Amiga) to C++ (didn’t even know ‘C’ before starting) and it wasn’t too bad in the end.

P.S I hate Javascript and C# doesn’t do much for me either. Learning C++ was also rewarding (though I should point out I’m now rusty with it and I still had much to learn on more advanced topics even back 10 years ago when I wrote my own simple D3D8 engine before I tacked my own game engine onto Irrlicht). C++ is fast, and direct access to the source code is a dream come true for coders. I’m glad they haven’t layered on any other kind of ‘scripting’ - C++ is where it’s at and my years of learning that won’t go to waste.
