You have higher level, lower level, and those languages in between.
Generally speaking higher level languages are considered more
productive at the cost of a slower runtime. While lower level
languages are less productive but usually produce a faster runtime. On
the low end when would you choose C++ over C. It seems that many OS's,
device drivers, and DB's are written in C. And when would you use C++
over higher level languages. Where does C++ shine? I am looking for
answers that are specific (not anything you would use C for that is
over 50,000 lines of code) either a name of an existing project or
characteristics that of a project that would make you choose C++.
Thanks for your thoughts.
