Re: Is There Any Reason to Even Use VC++ Anymore?

Sure, for those who believe this nonsense. Those who ran some benchmarks
know that there is almost no difference, for some specific cases C++/CLI is
a bit faster and in other cases C# is a bit faster. This is quite normal if
you know that both front-end compilers emit MSIL and the bulk of the
optimizations are done at JIT compile time. Sure the C++ compiler can spend
some extra time to optimize MSIL, while the C# compiler is more time
constrained, but in reality there is very little that can be done at the
MSIL level. Note also that a great deal of the code that gets executed in a
real world application comes from the FCL which is written in C#.
Believe me, performance is not C++/CLI's selling point.
