Does Meta has projects in non C++ stack?
After going through a blind thread I got an impression that C++ is more or less a necessity if someone works as software engineer at Meta. [Blind] Check out this post! I'm joining Meta/FB next month but I don't know C++ (Software Engineering Career) https://us.teamblind.com/s/iJtaTPtF Just curious to understand if this is actually the case? Are their projects in non-C++ stack? Especially in infrastructure side?
Blind
Isn’t it the same with Google? Meta uses PHP extensively.
I have worked across multiple teams at Google and didn't require to touch c++. There are large number of projects that use Java. My current org is a complete Java shop in itself
C++, python, and php for infra side of things. Some random Nodejs, Rust, Scala, Java, Go are present but not that common.
This is what I am trying to understand. Can you land on a project that doesn't C++ or is it more of a necessity?
If you are ok with python or php then easily. My c++ is not great but I never had to write it in here. Work on infra.
C++ isn’t that bad at all, it should be fairly comfortable writing C++ in big companies like G or Meta, there are many great tools.
Is C++ considered superior backend technology to Java?
At least FB’s C++ is standardized to Boost+Folly, right? And I bet there are tons of coding standard to follow.
React ? React Native ?
I am looking more towards backend product development or infrastructure side
