if you want it to be fast you write it in c, if you want it to be easy you write it in python. why do other languages even exist

learning languages is stupid, learn paradigms instead and switching from one language to another isn't any harder than taking one day to figure out where the .s and the {s go

pffft, C, if you want it to be really fast write it in HLSL. HLSL is also currently the only PL where new features are still being discovered

like this undocumented one useful for encapsulation: Advanced HLSL II: Shader compound parameters

the earlier post Advanced HLSL using closures and function pointers is a good read too

c++11 has only been around for a year or two and compiler support is still maturing. give it at least another 5 years for the features to be uncovered
