I don't think C nor C++ were ever great languages for prototyping? (And definitely not better than Rust.)

Please try not to be obnoxious and turn this into a language war.

  • How is this obnoxious?

    C and C++ have their strengths, but rapid prototyping is generally not seen to be amongst them.

    This shouldn't be any more controversial than saying that pure Python is generally slow.

    • They are pretty much the best choice for prototyping 3D apps and GPU algorithms. They're fast, powerful, and don't impose restrictions - you can do whatever and however. It also helps that CUDA is C++.
