C++

C++ is a simple and clear language in its expressions. It is true that a piece of code written with C++ may be seen by a stranger of programming a bit more cryptic than some other languages due to the intensive use of special characters ({}[]*&!|...), but once one knows the meaning of such characters it can be even more schematic and clear than other languages that rely more on English words. Also, the simplification of the input/output interface of C++ in comparison to C and the incorporation of the standard template library in the language, makes the communication and manipulation of data in a program written in C++ as simple as in other languages, without losing the power it offers. It is a programming model that treats programming from a perspective where each component is considered an object, with its own properties and methods, replacing or complementing structured programming paradigm, where the focus was on procedures and parameters.

Ionic

(5 Ratings)

The Ionic Platform allows you to bring your apps to market faster with an integrated app platform built on the leading cross-platform mobile SDK. Build, secure, and deliver new mobile apps—and transform existing ones—across iOS, Android, and Web platforms from a single codebase. Full scalability—Grow from prototype to production to enterprise-scale, without having to think about capacity, reliability, or performance. Better apps, everywhere—Slash your development time and costs with a platform that lets you write once and deploy anywhere—iOS, Android, and Web. The core of the Ionic development experience is Ionic Capacitor, a cross platform native runtime that runs equally well on native iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as any web browser. The big difference is that, unlike traditional native development or cross-platform approaches, the UI of a Capacitor app runs primarily in the browser.

Carbon Language

Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++. Performance matching C++ using LLVM, with low-level access to bits and addresses. Interoperate with your existing C++ code, from inheritance to templates. Fast and scalable builds that work with your existing C++ build systems. Solid language foundations that are easy to learn, especially if you have used C++. Easy, tool-based upgrades between Carbon versions. Safer fundamentals, and an incremental path towards a memory-safe subset. Carbon is fundamentally a successor language approach, rather than an attempt to incrementally evolve C++. It is designed around interoperability with C++ as well as large-scale adoption and migration for existing C++ codebases and developers.
