C++ really needed?

malune · 2004-08-23T17:33:22

Hey people, I've been reading up about python and it's integration with C lately, and have figured that there's not much point in me continuing coding straight C++ when the speed difference is negligible, and it's much easier to code the programs in python. My question is, is there much point in me using C++ with python, when i could just use straight C? And what differences in terms of program design does Python and C have relative to pure C++?

There are many ways you can design a system. You are not forced to use OOP even when using C++ so do not feel that you must.

If you can sensibly design a system using another paradigm, feel entirely free to do so.

Yeah, i could probably design a better system at the moment procedurally, but since i have time, i'd like to learn how to properly use OOP as well, seeing as it's meant to have so many benefits.

You don't sound convinced that OOP will be a silver bullet.
