Stop feeding me then people.

Video game companies using it will be over pretty soon as processing power becomes less and less important. All major engines will do a form of scripting, because it improves workflow immensely (and thus decreases cost).
Say, you can build a game in 5 seconds on a laptop, you wouldn't have to build a $20k+ build farm that's actually slower and your employees won't have to wait for the game to build to continue actually developing the game.

Building engines? Yeah, that's dead already. Companies that care about money don't build their own engine because from a financial perspective, it's stupid as fuck.

There will always be a demand for as much performance as possible. Always. Even though Android uses Java for the main programming language (due to number of Android-powered devices and OS fracturing in the market), developers always attempt to squeeze as much performance as possible out of their code. C++ won't go anywhere. And Unreal Engine 4 is going full C++, ditching UnrealScript.

While your logic of why a render or build farm is fine, it does not belong supporting an argument for scripting languages.

Building engines? Yeah, that's dead already. Companies that care about money don't build their own engine because from a financial perspective, it's stupid as fuck.

You could say the same thing about people whom build their websites from scratch. Why do that when you can get a program that allows you to simply drag-and-drop elements where you'd like them? While that is no where close financially as building a full engine, it all has to do with legal and royalty/licensing/access issues. Imagine engines going the same route as AT&T in the 80's? I could only imagine the cost of game development soaring to extremes when only three people have the keys to the keep. Are you going to argue against building custom engines then?

Oh, and the cost of engine development is high now because of the current technology. What we do in real-time now was extremely expensive in the seventies because of the technology available at that time. Same as during the shuttle launch that brought the first man into orbit around the planet; millions of dollars on technology that fits into a three dollar wrist-watch today.

It's not all about the programming language... the programmer, too.

Minecraft is made in Java. Minetest (a remake of Minecraft) is made in C++. Minetest is much more laggier than Minecraft.

See for yourself. Download Minecraft if you do not already have it here http://www.minecraft.net/ and download Minetest here http://minetest.net/

It is true. I'll give you that because I totally agree. Diablo 3 runs like total crap, but there are games that run way better (resolution in Diablo 3 impacts performance way much more than other games. I can play Torchlight at max settings, resolution and all, but Diablo 3 has to be down as far as possible for anything near playable). But generally speaking, when talking about the speed of a language, we're assuming that the programmer wielding the language is pretty decent. That way, it's all about the language.

False. In a while, the GPU will be the bottleneck for every single game on almost every computer. Do you know how slow UnrealScript is?

... What? First off, stop drinking what ever it is you're drinking. There is a reason why the GPU was invented and continues to be necessity for high-end graphics. The fundamental design of the CPU prevents it from doing any high levels of 3D rendering. This is why the Intel Core i7 has an integrated graphics core to allow 3D rendering without a graphics card. Same with AMD's fusion APUs. You still aren't rendering on a logic core.

And yes, I do know how slow UnrealScript is. Why do you think UnrealEngine 4 is ditching it? What is your point here? It's contradicting your previous post.

Hello sir.
Well, c++ obviously is a very powerful programing language, and yes is one of the most used and important languages. But!, i think c++ is not the king of kings of the programming languages...
it depends for what kind of program you want to develop... for example: java is the king of kings for game and app develop for mobile devices, i can say python is one of the kings for simple game and app develop for linux.

I say what i think, i'm not an expert programmer...

That's my entire point. Rendering isn't done on the CPU, so the CPU isn't very important for games anymore because we don't really require more processing power for our game logic.

Battlefield 3 and Crysis is programmed really well and you can also see the impact from using C++ and having great programmers. Minecraft also lags on some computers that do not lag at Battlefield and Crysis. That is because Java has to go though a virtual machine and C++ don't. Also, it's fair to say Battlefield 3 and Crysis is a huge project and the employ great programmers.

Another example Linux is much faster than Windows because loads of people programmed on the open source project and added better code. That's why I like open source.

Yet, you're using AS3 to build games on Newgrounds. Also, not every developer uses C++ for game development. iPhone can use Objective-C, Android JAVA and Indie Games C#.

So your argument that the GPU will be the bottleneck was aimed at the CPU? I'm not understanding what you're talking about here. Also, the CPU is going to be just as important in video games as the GPU is - the CPU will always be important in any software development. Without a CPU that can do high-yielding throughput, it becomes the bottleneck and will slow down a GPU. It won't matter how powerful or fast that GPU is, if it's stuck waiting it is going to be slowed down.

The CPU will also be very important because it allows the developers to do a lot of extra computation, be it for AI or basic object updating. Yes, GPU's are evolving, and so are the rendering techniques used to bring games closer to photo-realism. But that doesn't mean that CPUs aren't and the instructions that go with it.

I'm going to be a software Nazi, Linux is a kernel. But you're right, a Linux-based OS like Ubuntu or Mint run much faster than Windows. That's not only because Linux OS' are open-source and have world-class software development, but it is also because it uses less resources than Windows.

Speaking of Linux, what the hell is that thing? Is it even a OS, its weird.

Nice. I've stated it before. Linux is a kernel; it's to build an OS on top of. But the idea behind Linux is used as the name for an OS based off of Linux.

That's ok! We're not angry at you!

It's true, I keep C++ in high esteem, but it's always the situation that will dictate the tools you'll be using. I will NEVER EVER use C++ in web developpement, BUT you CAN use it... (with a CGI as demonstrated here)
as you can use a gun to kill a fly...
as you can use a hammer to drive a screw.

You CAN, but it'll be rather ineficient... and full of surprises!! Every laguage deserves recognition (almost... with a special mention to brainfuck!)

Unless you lose your sane, I would never recommend you to use C++ for web development. It is too inefficiency.

Instead of fucking your brain with Brainfuck, why not use ASM if you want lighter and easier language? Miserable programmers are always full of surprises too. They thought they can make something that groundbreaking but instead they remake and even make things worse than the original existed prod.

It's like you say you are going to use C++ for web development when Python, Perl, Ruby and Java already doing what you want to do.

PHP is useless once Python exists in the field. In fact Python is a dominant of almost all development fields.
