- QUOTE: … C++ is designed for fairly hardcore applications, and it's always been used together with some scripting language or other. When I started, I used C++ for anything that required a real programming language and real performance. Then I used the Unix shell as my scripting language. That was how it [was done], and that's also the way things are done in most of the cases today. (C++ is for] high performance, high reliability, small footprint, low energy consumption, all of these good things.
