Memory issues are easy to solve but people insist on their C habits. Don't use malloc or new. Use algoritm library/boost to speed up your programming. Don't try to cook everything yourself. Don't follow people who try to do early optimization. You are already ahead in performance game. Don't try low level stuff then complain about it. | |

Out of all the common languages used in game dev (C#, Python, Java, Lua, GDscript), C++ is likely the hardest to program (at least in such a way that you don't cause memory leaks and segfaults regularly). Starting with the fact that every refactoring on class level requires you to edit two files (the header and the cpp)... Compile time on the other hand can be improved nowdays through more modern orchestrators like Bazel instead of Cmake. | |
