Très bon article, merci. Unrelated but how would you compare using something like Go to Silicion and C++,if you ever tried Go?

EDIT: didn't know about IOD, looks nice.


Merci Aikah :). I know Go yes. It is a nice platform for web programming. There are some good articles comparing Go and C++. I guess C++ will always be faster than Go, but Go may be a better choice for productivity, especially if you do not know C++. Compilation time also a big C++ problem.

In short, this framework is targeted to experienced C++ users with a big focus on performance.

In terms of language, the big difference to me between Go and C++ is templates. Go does not include them, which makes it a bit more limited but on the other hand much simpler to understand for beginners and faster to compile.
