C/C++ Development
C and C++ development has been around for ages – close to 42 years to be exact. The legend has it that if you can master C and C++, you’re capable of learning any other programming language, especially those with a similar concept.
But is it still relevant in modern web development? Very much so, and many of our projects at Sirin Software are much-needed proof that you can accomplish a lot by using C and C++ in your work.
The TIOBE index shows both languages at top positions multiple decades in a row. Plenty of long-running projects that were built using C, C++, or both, still exist, and some even thrive. So let’s take a gander at what’s so special about developing with C and C++
C/C++ development expertise is still in high demand today due to the languages’ complexity, low-level memory access and management, portability, and their high proximity to machine language, especially with C. Both languages have a similar structure, compilation process, and syntax. They also share basic grammar and memory models.

C++ Development
C++ language is widely used in packaged software – operating systems, games, office applications, photo, and video editors, AR/VR, as well as in embedded systems, IoT, browsers, and microcontrollers. C/C++ engineers cherish this language because it helps them build large but fast infrastructures and apps that operate on limited resources.
C development is very grounded, function-driven, and procedural. It lets developers get super close to the hardware, while C++ has upped the game by combining the power of the former and mixing it with object-oriented programming. The main differences between these languages and their performance are:
- С++ contains two times more keywords in coding, and also, unlike C, supports the display of messages in more than one form, summing up data and information with one unit, and the ability of one class to take properties from another
- C has its data and functions separated, while C++ has them contained together
- C++ inherently has more support for functions and variables
- They have different focus methods – C prioritizes process, while C++ focuses on data
C/C++ engineers summarize the following advantages:
- Impressive and stable performance. Languages are fast and predictable which helps the coding process
- Substantial ecosystem. There are plenty of open-source libraries and you can use them with any C or C++ project
- Conveniently close to the hardware, which is great for smaller resources
- Portability – these languages are usually selected if the project is designed for multiple devices and platforms
- Large and helpful community
- Cross-compatibility – C program is compatible with C++, and vise versa
The main feature of C development is that this language is flexible and can expand by itself. A program has different functions linking back to the library. Developers can easily add their own features and functions to it, making complex systems more manageable. C is compiled, which means a developer first writes the source code, then the special program compiles it for the machine to read it, and then object files are merged into
a single .exe file.
With C++, the process is relatively similar. The basic concepts of this programming language revolve around five components – variables that help store information, control and data structures, syntax that consists of words, symbols, and expressions, and coding tools for C/C++ developers to get the job done (an IDE, for example)
Our team’s impressive C++ development expertise has helped tremendously while developing multiple demanding yet interesting projects and software. With the help of C languages, our developers updated firmware for wearable devices in retail and made a wireless connection manager for IoT electronics. Among C++ based solutions, the most prominent was the low-power distributed antenna network.
Here’s also the list of our most recent С/С++ projects using the power of both languages:
- Radio communications system with cloud service;
- Remote antenna tilting protocol implementation;
- IPTV solution;
- Parking digital embedded software;
- OpenWrt-based operating system.
Based on continuous feedback and the astounding performance of both these languages, it’s safe to say that C/C++ development’s popularity and appreciation are not going anywhere.
