Some newbies (like me) do love to code in C++
A language war thread in this section /sigh
I have a question, why do people stick with one language only when its perfectly fine, acceptable and makes sense to do projects in multiple languages based on requirements?
If you got a game that worked and it was built with C# and C++ would you stop playing because the company didnt use C++ only? NO!
These language war threads make no sense at all anymore, we have already seen massive game companies (Blizzard, CCP etc) use multiple languages for various parts of their game or game tools / features, so 'C++ for all' doesnt even make sense
War threads only really make sense when you can use one of the products / tech efficiently at a time, since multiple languages can be used in a project there is no reason for a war

Not trying to point out or offend anyone here, but imo making claims like "This language is the best, and all you other guys suck for not using it" (statement blown up for dramatic effect) or sticking with one language just because "The pro's use it" says a lot about that person's competence as a developer. You could even go as far as to say it is a perfect example of the often-quoted Dunning-Kruger effect.
As stated so many times before: languages are tools, choose the right ones for the task you want to do. And yes there are multiple possible languages for solving a single problem even if that problem is writing a high-performance game engine.
Quite foolish of me to start this post.
The foolish part was for you to call yourself a newb, and then try to tell people (many of which are more experienced and certainly not in the "newb" category) what to do, what's a good/bad idea, that they can't/shouldn't make an engine in anything but C++, etc.
I like programming in C++, but it's not the only language I like to program in, and I certainly wouldn't have the gall to claim it's The One True Way.

Except pig latin. It is best, and all of you suck for not using it.

And I bet everyone thought a programming language was going to be the reason shit really hit the fan in this thread.
...aaaand it looks like we're done here.
