Hello,
I'm not asking this to troll, I'm just genuinely interested in this
question and I think that if I were to post it on a Java group that
would be like asking the converted.
Since C# has become Microsoft's flagship programming language, I'm
wondering, does this mean that the sun is starting to set on C++ as the
dominant language for, in particular, desktop development?
Admittedly, I'm no expert in programming languages and the basis for my
question could be inaccurate but this is the current picture of the
situation as it looks to me.
I think the reason for the shift from C++ to Java-like languages is
that Java etc. provide a friendlier upgrade path to OOP for C
developers whereas C++ is more encyclopedic and confusing.
Thanks for your input,
