Latin is a Death language! :mrgreen:

C++ is a nice language, but it''s hardly "modern". In fact it''s quite antiquated in many respects.

If you want power, speed, convenience, features...go with a modern language like C++.

I like C++ a lot, and use it for all my personal projects as well as professionally (though not for games). But I wouldn't go so far as to call it modern . It's more than 15 years old now, and while it definitely holds performance benefits over newer (more modern) languages like Java and C#, it lacks many of the features that were added to them for convenience, like reflection and garbage collection.

I agree with the general leaning of this thread that learning C++ is probably the best idea, especially if you want to consider going into professional game development.

But don't confuse the language's efficiency with modern-ness or a further state of evolution. After all, one wouldn't call a powerful 1960s muscle car more modern than a new civic just because it's faster


EDIT: Looks like the above AP beat me to the punch on this one
