[@adamrushford]

C# not C++++ it's predecessor name... but if you ask me I'd say C Language and be talking about all of them, they are the same to me, I don't even think differently when switching between them

[@ZygerGFX]

😂😅 yeah.... I need to record some actual c++ be-rolls next time. Also thanks !

[@doesdev]

@@adamrushford It's pretty crazy you can switch between a procedural, low-level language and an object-oriented managed language without thinking differently

[@adamrushford]

@@doesdev not really they are written the same way, with C++ over C you're just adding things that make it easier, C# is the same way with C++... there is little difference when writing them so it makes little difference overall... managed languages just don't require you to manage, and C++ isn't just object oriented either, these days it's ideal to program mostly functionally... it might seem wild, but it's actually not, pretty ordinary honestly. Or maybe at this stage programming is just programming to me... if you think arguing the aspects of a language will save you time it won't, just pick one capable and code what you like, the end result is going to piss you off either way I promise.

[@maervo4179]

​@@adamrushford are you freaking kidding me? How can you seriously post that nonsense? This comment section is overflowing with garbage takes, and yours just added to the pile. Let me spell it out for you: C++ is way harder and completely different from C#. Writing good code in C++ demands serious effort and time, and even the most basic lines of code can blow up in your face without proper static analysis. Bugs and security issues are practically lurking around every corner. Just yesterday, my coworker accidentally dereferenced an std::optional instead of using .value()-something so basic-and guess what? It compiled fine and ran perfectly on Linux, but on Windows? Boom. Crash. Total disaster. That's how fragile this stuff can be. The syntax? A total nightmare. C++ throws out abstractions for the sake of performance, so you're left with this barebones, overly complicated mess to sift through. And the toolchain? It's a joke compared to other languages. Java, for instance, lets you set up a project in Gradle or Maven without worrying about compilers, architectures, dependencies, or shared vs. static libraries. In C++, you have to wrangle every one of those headaches. Then there's the compilation time-don't even get me started. My C++ project at work takes 10-15 minutes on a top-tier machine, while the same thing in Java would compile in seconds. Seconds! Debugging in C++ is an absolute time sink. Choosing the right language for the job isn't just a luxury-it's basic competence. Your comment screams that you have no clue what you're talking about, and frankly, I wouldn't trust you to code a "Hello, World!" program. Get it together.

[@lefloysi]

I am currently in the process of trying to make my own game from scratch using glfw and opengl, however completly alone not in uni. This is very inspirational to me and helps me to just keep at it until i finally understand all the concepts! Thanks for content :3

Watching this reminded me of how important it is to start young and keep building skills over time. At Moonpreneur, we focus on empowering kids to learn coding and explore their creativity with platforms like C++ programming. It’s amazing to see how such skills shape the future!

[@l_tonz]

I've been having a blast learning C++. the syntax is super different from Java and C#. It's not as fun as C#, but it is more technical (less so than C). You can write more performant code without getting too low level.

[@eliseoduque3261]

holy smokes you're talented at this stuff! I spent over 1 yr using c++ and Im still struggling on the daily! haha

[@thereclaimer1638]

Excellent video! I've been working on my own engines for a bit, its a lot to wrap one's head around and these are fantastic projects! You should be proud of all your accomplishments, can't wait to see where this continues to go!

[@Jazzimus]

as somebody who uses cpp exclusively for competitive programming purposes, i sometimes forget that you can use it to make something "tangible" as well lol

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

For everything weird that you get asked in interviews or on coding challenges, chances are they'll implemented it in like C++27 or something. Might call it std::leetcode::rebalance_binary_tree_using_no_memory or something like that. I maintain that C++ is getting gentler and easier as the years roll by. I'm old enough to remember those Boost libraries, those are now standard features.

[@IamLegion]

😆😆😆

[@edoardodepiccoli3004]

good to see they actually make you study and code real stuff there. I am studying CS in Italy and the only C++ I've seen is just in a bunch of slides that explains the theory and not much else

[@purnya2]

porco dio I've been thinking the same! I don't hate the theory but the lack of practical stuff is maddening! We're getting out of universities absolutely useless, unless you program as a hobby in your free time.

hey zyger , i'm a first year comp sci at a low grade university because i didn't score good in highschool but i really love programming , i like how cool it looks and i've been a techy nerd since i was a kid so it's not a rushed decision i made by choosing comp sci, but i'm nowhere near the level i want to be , the problem is i dont know how i can get to that level and my college is pretty mediocre , they just wanna get work done and don't push us to make engines and what not, i am not levelling up even though i want to , You've lived my dream by working in a game's development and i'm impressed and looking up to you now because you did just achieve what i've dreamt of . Can you please make a guide for individuals that are clueless on how to level up but they are willing to.

I'd love your thoughts on its relevance and how to make the most out of learning it. Thanks!

[@CurS-yp3qw]

Естественно он актуален. Java, python подходят только для не крупных проектов, простых, средних сайтов. Например, телеграмм сделан на C++, все крупные игровые движки написаны тоже на нем, крупные веб приложения по типу телеграмма того же тоже в 90% делаются на подобных языках, потому что там нужна высокая скорость

There are people who've been doing C++ for 20 years who still aren't true "experts". I wouldn't worry about it too much. In my opinion the _real_ top dogs and C++ "experts" are the standards committee and Stroustrup himself. Everyone else is just a seasoned pro.
