Hello Guys, Welcome back to another post of Sai Ansul's Blog.
In this blog we are gonna find which programming language is better.
So let's start,
Firstly let us know what is programming?
Programming is the way we can make the computer perform various tasks.
What is programming language?
It is a formal language to perform various tasks, there are several protocols and algorithms to be followed.
Let us know the types of programming languages:
- Procedural Programming Language.
- Functional Programming Language.
- Object-oriented Programming Language.
- Scripting Programming Language.
- Logic Programming Language.
Some names of programming language are:
- C++ Language.
- C Language.
- Pascal Language.
- Python Language.
- Java Language.
- Perl Language
- Lisp Language
So, now lets us know something about both the programming language:
C++
It is programming language used for building high level programmed applications, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". C++ supports different ways of programming like: object-oriented, functional, procedural and more.
Python
It is a programming language, it's object oriented, it's a interpreter language which is easy to learn. This can be used for software and web development also for data science.
Now let us know some of the of the difference between two programming language
| C++ | Python |
|---|---|
| It is statically typed | It is dynamically typed |
| No scope as an backend developer | Good option for backend developer |
| Need to write a lot of lines of code | Less lines of codes required |
| It is pre; compiled | It uses interpreter |
| Looks messy but manageable as compared to python | It is easy since its object-oriented and simpler to use |
| C++ is faster than python | Python is slower because it uses interpreter, it also determines on the type of data while running |
| It doesn't support garbage collection | It supports garbage collection |
| TIOBE rating is 4 | TIOBE rating is 3 |
| Variables are limited within loops | Variables are also accessible outside loops |
| Rapid Prototyping not possible because of larger code size | Rapid Prototyping is possible because of the small size of the code |
| Not easy in contrast to Python because of its complex syntax. | Program is easier to type |
These were some of the differences between these 2 programming language.
Now let us know some advantage & disadvantages of Python & C++
Advantages of Python
- Its portable
- Its free and open sourced
- Easy to use and fast to develop language
- It has all the libraries that each requires
Disadvantage of Python
- Speed is slower than C++
- There are sometimes runtime errors
- Its not a good choice for mobile development
- Its used for functional programming
- Its not a good choice for memory intensive tasks
Advantages of C++
- It is also portable
- Object oriented
- Low-level Manipulation
- Memory Management
Disadvantages of C++
- It does not have any security feature
- It can't support garbage collection
- Difficult to debug while used for web applications
- It becomes complex while in a very big and high level programming
So, since we have covered what is python & C++, its difference and its advantages and disadvantages.
Now lets proceed towards the conclusion
So, if you have read this, you might have a clear idea about which programming language is better and which one you should use.
Python is better beginners because of its easy code and syntax, its a good for who want to choose their career in backend web development.
Python is also leading language for data analytics and machine learning .
But, if you want to develop applications or software then C++ is a good programming language to go for.
Now, at the end you have to decide for what purpose which one you have to choose.

Nice article, but I think you should rename the article from
That's because the title seems you are confronting these two languages and as we know there isn't a better language than other 😁
Thanks for suggesting,
I'll keep this in mind in the next comparison article 😄
Very good article. The main reason I am happy is because you are not a python nerd and you are not biased!
You also didn't choose for us, and let us choose, thought that can be frustrating for some people...
Thanks a lot!
I'm glad you found this interesting 😄
Is this an April Fools article that got scheduled to post incorrectly… ?
I apologize, I literally thought it was an amusing and clever way to name the article and then leave some things out to upset C++ folks. The author didn't seem stupid or wrong to me, just like he was having some good natured fun.
Thank you for checking my article. I'm glad that you took the time to point that out in such an elegant manner.
It was helpful
Concerning your point that Python doing functional programming as a "con," I'm a bit confused. Did you mean imperative? It is easy to write overly imperative Python, which is a good point, but I'm confused what you mean with functional.
No scope for backend development with C++???
There are scopes, but python has much more scopes compared to C++.
Oh, I know, but C++ is a language that should never be underestimated.
I agree entirely.
Good read, you could also check out this resouruce: pythonvs.com/cplusplus
Sure!
Nice info, good work 👏
Thank you so much
It left out a lot of stuff in the pros and cons that made me assume it was on purpose to tease the C++ fanboys.
