Coming from Python and Javascript background, I’d like to know if there is any chance to use C++ for Web applications in the future.
I mean…if C++ is only for Desktop applications and mostly Game Engines or Operation Systems, then how you can guarantee future of this language?, I know C++ is unbeatable for many tasks today, and it’s very popular, but we can’t really use it for Web, can we?
This is not language war and I’m not bashing C++ and this is not Desktop-vs-Web debate…I’m just curious to know where this language going in this ocean of chaos!
Sorry for language
There’s a C++ web application toolkit that you can use right now. There’s at least one site which was implemented in C++. Facebook has a tool that converts PHP code into C++, which is compiled with GCC, and their servers run the executable.
So it’s definitely possible to use C++ in some form for web applications. It’s not as common as, say PHP, but you can make it work.
