Reasons for Using C++ Programming Language in Developing Operating Systems
C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, as an enhancement to the C language.
It was specifically designed with an orientation towards large systems and resource-constrained software. C++ has expanded significantly over time.
The latest version (C++) has object-oriented, functional, and generic features in addition to low-level memory manipulation. The biggest advantage of C++ is that it is super scalable and allows developers to have a lot of control over how their applications use up resources.
Advantages of C++ Over Other Languages
1. Object-Oriented
2. Speed
3. Compiled
4. Rich Library Support
5. Pointer Support
6. Closer to Hardware
What Can You Do With C++
- Animation
- Billing System
- Compilers
- Cloud Storage Systems
- Databases
- Embedded Systems
- Game Development
- Graphic Design
- Management Systems
- Operating Systems
- Web Browsers
- Security System
- Smart Technology
- 3D visuals etc…
One of the best-known uses for C++ is programming operating systems. Well-known systems like Microsoft and Linux are all developed in C++ because it is a language that is strong, speed and fast to code in, making it ideal for building an operating system right from scratch.
Programming in C++ is also used when developing mobile software, with the most notable example being Apple who use the language to write some of the iOS system.
In the future, the world is mostly going to rely on hardware like a robot, Internet of things, bots, embedded systems, and a lot of machinery things that we are going to use in our day to day life. It is still being dominant in the gaming industry which is bigger than the film industry. So developing those types of machinery, developing those embedded systems require fast efficient language and that language is going to be C++.
