On the contrary i believe, C++ is the ultimate tool to solve everything.
(joking :-), today of course), but seriously is. as it is as rather level
as C also, plus any style you like, and you like to express. If i had some
1000++ years to spend, maybe yeahs!, but time is sort, and C is alos quite
flexibly (if concentrated a bit to an expressional style, that would surely
perfect match. Surely i believe quite in Zig Lang to be honest, but you know
time is sort.
