C++ Alternatives

C++ is described as 'Statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose, powerful programming language. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features' and is a very popular programming language in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to C++ for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac, BSD and Self-Hosted apps. The best C++ alternative is Rust, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like C++ are Java, C (programming language), C# and Go (Programming Language).
