Why C++ for Unreal 4?

That’s nonsense.
You acquire language knowledge and then get hired as developer working with that language specifically.

Sure any decent programmer can tinker in 3 to 5 other languages, but people tend to specialize in one or two of them.
So, if you hire a Python developer and then make him write C# programs, your project utilizes human resources inefficiently.

I’m sorry but i think your education was misguided, you should have learned how to solve problems, not how to write in a single language. the language is irrelevant. you should be able to solve pretty much any problem regardless of language, unless the language doesn’t support a feature.

I actually worked with C# for decent amount of time and know my stuff.
Claiming that all human brains are the same is lack of understanding of human nature.
Different people think differently.

Of course people think differently, that doesn’t change a humans ability to understand something. Try thinking about it differently.

That’s your subjective opinion.
You’re saying that because it is incompatible with your mindset and you don’t know how to utilize C++ for large projects.

No, what i said is c++ is terrible for very very large projects… its much better to utilize multiple languages in a large project. C++ alone IS a terrible solution for a gigantic project. Just look at the size of unreal engine 4, which isn’t even that big of a project mind you. It has C++, Objective C, C, C#, Python, , HTML and others. Unreal Engine 4 is only about 55.6% C++

Didn’t I already post that “The "right tool for the job" principle still applies” in this thread?
I guess some people have trouble paying attention.

You did, but you didn’t say that it’s dumb to choose a single language for everything… It wasn’t directed *towards you *specifically. I mean, I did try to separate that by two whole lines.

I think it would probably the best to nuke or close this thread. It is just plain old language war, with very small amount of useful info.

I disagree, there has been good civil conversation.* Granted this thread would be more suited in general discussion.*
