Performance
Known for its high performance and efficiency, C++ gives developers direct access to hardware and system resources. This enables the creation of software with minimal overhead.
Object-oriented Programming
Supports principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, enabling developers to create well-structured and reusable code.
Templates
Allows for generic programming, enabling functions and classes to operate with any data type, enhancing code flexibility.
Operator Overloading
Enables developers to redefine the way operators work with user-defined types, which can lead to more intuitive coding.
Multiple Inheritance
Supports inheriting from multiple base classes, providing a powerful way to create complex class hierarchies.
Standard Template Library (STL)
Includes a rich set of templates for data structures and algorithms, significantly increasing coding efficiency.
Extension Methods
Allows you to add new functionality to existing classes without modifying their source code.
String Interpolation
Enables embedding expressions in string literals, making string formatting easier.
Type Inference
Automatically determines the type of variables and expressions, reducing boilerplate code.
Coroutines
Provides a way to write asynchronous code in a sequential manner, making multi-threading easier.
First-class Functions
Functions can be treated as values, allowing you to pass them as parameters and return them from other functions.
Closures
Supports closures, which are functions that remember the environment in which they were created.
Pattern Matching
Facilitates pattern matching to simplify code and enhance readability.
Decorators/annotations
Provides syntactic sugar for wrapping functions or modifying behavior.
Iterators/generators
Supports creation of iterators and generators for efficient data handling.
Reflection
Allows inspection of classes, methods, and functions at runtime.
Meta-programming
Enables the writing of code that manipulates other code or itself.
Modules
PHP supports modular programming with the ability to organize code into reusable components.
Variadic functions
PHP functions can accept a variable number of arguments, allowing for more flexible function signatures.
Named arguments
Functions in PHP can be called with parameters specified by name, improving code readability.
Destructuring
PHP allows destructuring of arrays and objects for easier variable assignment.
Lambdas
Allows you to define anonymous functions in a concise manner, enhancing the functional programming capabilities.
Async/Await
Simplifies asynchronous programming by allowing you to write asynchronous code as if it were synchronous.
Generics
Enables you to define classes and methods with a placeholder for the type of data they store or manipulate.
Zero-cost abstractions
Provides high performance without runtime overhead, allowing you to write high-level code with low-level performance.
Traits/Interfaces
Enables code reuse and polymorphism through trait definitions.
Algebraic data types
Provides powerful and expressive data types for programming.
Macros
Offers flexible code generation capabilities to reduce boilerplate.
Channels
Go features channels for goroutines to communicate with each other with built-in support for synchronization.
High-Level Abstractions
Allows programmers to write code that is easier to read and maintain while still having low-level memory manipulation capabilities.
Efficiency
C is known for its ability to deliver high performance, making it suitable for systems programming.
Portability
Code written in C can be easily ported to various platforms without significant changes.
Direct Memory Manipulation
Provides capabilities to directly interact with memory, enhancing flexibility and control over system resources.
REPL
Provides a Read-Eval-Print Loop, which allows for interactive programming and immediate feedback.
Coroutines
Supports coroutines for cooperative multitasking, allowing functions to pause and resume at later times.
Static Typing
Adds optional static typing to JavaScript, allowing for early error detection and better tooling support.
Transpilation
Transforms TypeScript code into plain JavaScript, making it compatible with existing JavaScript environments.
Strong Type Inference
Automatically identifies the type of variables and functions to reduce errors and improve code quality.
Modern Language Features
Includes features like async/await, decorators, and generics to enhance programming productivity.
Rich Ecosystem Support
Offers seamless integration with existing JavaScript libraries and frameworks.
Type classes
A mechanism for ad-hoc polymorphism in Haskell, enabling functions to operate on different types.
Lazy evaluation
Delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed, improving performance in many cases.
Monads
A design pattern used to handle program-wide operations such as stateful computations and side effects in a functional way.
Pure functions
Functions that return the same output given the same input, promoting referential transparency.
Currying
The process of transforming a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions that each take a single argument.
Tail-call optimization
Optimizes tail-recursive functions to prevent stack overflow errors.
