Thoughts on using c++ for web development? There are a few frameworks out now that target the web. What are the pros and cons of this?
i would say you should have an extremely compelling reason to use c++ rather than something else with more mature tooling
More mature tooling? Whose career are you trying to build...?
I'm fairly certain you know what I meant
Why would you consider using C++ for web development? I can think of a lot of cons, are you aware of any of the pros?
To be honest I can’t think of many pros. 1) research value 2) some image processing i want to do naturally fits in c++ backend service. So if the entire chain is c++ then there’s less friction. However interlanguage friction is so minimal that writing the backend image processing in c++ and the web stuff in another Lang is fine.
Don’t.
Please no
Wasm?
If there are some libraries that are only available in c++ I would write a service that you would call from web backend which is in JavaScript or python. If you don’t need online processing consider writing the results from c++ into a db or in-memory cache. I would never write a web backend in C++

Just use Golang. It’s a secret and don’t tell too many people or they’ll shit it up like they did to rails.
