Why C++

It's the best option for a practical and performant language in 2026. This will not change. And this is a good thing.

• C is okay, but lacks key features
  (Like safe string and vector classes to stop you from screwing your users over).

• Languages like C# and Java
  make efficient memory management hard and have big security risks due to their size and bloat. All of these systems are vulnerable and need to be replaced.

• C++ is mature and stable
  with reliable compilers.

• No major missing features
  You get everything you need out of the box.

• Produces fast, high-quality code.

• Fully standardized (ANSI)
  and not owned by a single company.

Downsides of C++:

• Very complex; companies need to agree on which features to use and train their teams well.
• Fewer independent compiler options these days, which isn’t ideal.

Solution

Listen to me. I wrote the most performent and reliable middleware transaction engine in global healthcare. Still unmatched today in terms of stability and performance. Sad but true. These are techniques I used to achieve that. Today I know more than I did then.

Let's go.
