[comp.lang.c++] C++ vs. Modula2

gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (12/22/88)

Hi,

Which language do you think will fit more purposes?
From the present perspectives, it seems that

FORTRAN 8x for numerical computation
C++        for system and object-oriented programming
Modula 2   for general purpose and eduation

are going to serve ninties and the first decade of the 21th century.

1) Is C++ not appropriate for general purpose?  Why?

2) What are the deficiencies of Modula 2 as a system programming language?

What I particularly want to know is:
3) Which of the two languages, Modula 2 and C++, is better suited for numerical
computation?

Thanks in advance.
                       Hugh      gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
