Abstract

Bjarne Stroustrup invented the C++ programming language at AT&T and published his first book on it in 1985. Because of its excellent performance and vast application domains, C++ stood as the dominate OOP language for a decade. During which, a lot of new OOP languages have emerged. These languages provide powerful application tools on some specific areas. Java and Python are two excellent next-generation languages. They inherit most praising features from C++, provide simpler user interfaces. They compliment C++'s network applications in a secure and robust way. This paper explores the capabilities and shortcomings of these three languages. Analysis is mainly focused on technical attributes and application axeas. To the end, development strategies are proposed to maximize the strengths of each language.
