Programming languages play a crucial role in the development of digital technology. They provide developers with the tools to create various applications and protocols.
C++ is a highly popular programming language that was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985. It started as a simple extension of the C programming language but has since become widely adopted by developers.
The main purpose of C++ is to facilitate software infrastructure development and improve performance, flexibility, and efficiency in software development. It is commonly used in desktop applications, video games, web search tools, and databases. Additionally, C++ is now extensively used in the creation of blockchains.
Blockchain developers find the structured nature of C++ beneficial for creating the core functionalities of blockchain protocols. However, due to its age, C++ is considered one of the most challenging programming languages to master. While it remains a reliable tool for developers, beginners may find it difficult initially. C++ was developed over thirty years ago, which means that its syntax and strictly type-based language structure are somewhat outdated. Some functionalities supported by more modern languages are not available in C++.
Nevertheless, C++ holds great significance in the crypto world as one of the most important programming languages. Being an object-oriented language, C++ allows developers to benefit from increased efficiency and flexibility in their code. The pioneering project, Bitcoin, is predominantly written in C++. Other notable blockchain projects written in C++ include EOS and Stellar. Of course, creating a cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain requires the use of more than just C++. Developers also turn to popular languages like JavaScript, Python, Solidity, and Go.
Today, there are over four million developers worldwide who can code in C++, which demonstrates the difficulty of mastering this language. However, the ability of C++ to handle intensive tasks and execute them swiftly has made it a go-to choice for blockchain developers. Without C++, the introduction of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies would not have been possible. While blockchain developers are constantly seeking innovation, C++ remains one of the most widely used languages to date.
