Question

Illustrates the uses of C++ in Clipper?

Answer 1

It is where I'm supposed to tell you that C++ is a huge language. This isn't (at least not for my reasons). A good programming language permits you to think in the language of the problem, not the certain language of the computer. Within C++ you have to return to implementation details, like whether to use a pointer or a reference or a value, a template or a derived class. It is probably unavoidable when good performance is going to be achieved.

But the major reason is a lack of alternatives. Java is (usually) slow, and clumsy into places. Maybe Objective-C, even C# or Delphi has solved some of these problems, except they are less portable and less widespread than C++.
