Socket programming , whicch language you suggest?

[jayap007]

Hi all,

I am looking for a better and friendly language to write
socket programming. It should be fast when i pass the data.
I prefer to wirte that socket programming using c or c++
i know c gives the better performance. But other than this if i go with delphi or vc++ how the performance will be will i get same perofrmance as i get with c or lesser than that. expecting youer valuable suggesssions.

Thanks in advance
Prakash

The speed difference between C and C++ in this case would be so small that it wouldn't matter.

If you are sending 5 megs per second, then I would worry. If you are taking about dialup, the modem is thousands of times slower than the CPU. Even high speed internet is super slow as far as CPU speed goes!

Remember, when optimizing, look at the *slowest* part of the operation, AKA the bottleneck.

If the CPU can send 100 megs per second, it doesn't matter how slow the program is if the modem can send only 5K per second!
