trends in programming languages	by dennismv	2004-12-06 22:57:22
Java's not doing too badly.	by williamashbless	2004-12-06 23:16:14
It's getting up there in performance. C++ itself is not significantly slower than C if you're using a really good compiler. (A lot of the overhead, I find, is in badly implemented exception handling, or badly written or inappropriate use of libraries). But I think the trend is towards languages that eschew _some_ efficiency for expressiveness and syntactic or run-time sugar, for faster and safer development. There've always been languages in that category. They're just becoming more practical for a broader scope of problems because the hardware's freaking fast and our understanding of virtual machines and compiler optimizations improves...
