Abstract
C++ is the programming language of choice for developers of high-performance applications. This often includes applications that are required to display 3D graphics to a user. 3D graphics are common in medical applications, design applications, and video games. All of these types of applications demand responsiveness as a key usability feature. This makes the C++ language a perfect choice for this type of program, because programmers can target and optimize for specific hardware platforms.
