Creating a system, application, and library written in C++ is a resource intensive task and you may resort to hiring offshore developers to get it done.
Despite competition from Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, and Apple's Swift, C++, though almost 40 years old, firmly occupies its niche among other languages and is widely used by developers in different corners of the world.
C++ owes its popularity to the fact that it is really fast and memory efficient compared to most other languages. Developers value C++ for its tremendous ecosystem of libraries, frameworks and tools. This makes it extremely versatile.
So C++ developers are in demand in industries such as finance, gaming, banking, telecommunications, electronics, manufacturing, retail, and many other fields.
This demand can’t often be filled by local resources, so going to offshore locations, like Eastern Europe and Ukraine, can be a useful solution.
WHERE IS C++ USED
- Browser rendering
- Device operating systems
- Video game development
- Cloud systems
- Banking applications
C++ is a general purpose, compiled, and statically typed programming language. Known as “C with Classes,” C++ is an extension of C with the functionality of user-defined data classes.
The high performance of C++ has made it the top language for use cases requiring fast rendering, including browsers, banking applications, and motion design software.
Another major contributor to C++’s ubiquity is its ability to work closely with system hardware. Developers use C++ as their first choice for hardware-oriented applications, including video game engines, operating systems, and cloud systems.
Another contributor to C++’s ubiquity is its age. C++ is more than 40 years old. In that time, it’s grown to support millions of applications, and developers have perfected it with new libraries and 20 updates. Beyond new application development, C++ skills are vital for maintaining existing applications and infrastructure.
While C++ rounds out the medal podium with a third-place ranking, it’s unlikely to surpass Python anytime soon. Python utilization is almost 50% higher, and their growth rates are about the same.
