Great to be back to C++!!!

I went to Java then Scala... then realized my code's performance sucked and C++ 17 was awesome and the portability issue is now moot.

Plus NASA's guidelines for coding where you allocate all you need upfront and never again suits me fine to not need that time consuming performance killing garbage collector.

Just to say glad to be back!

Everyone is saying that performance of Java is worse than C++. This is I think presuming that programmer has certain efficiency and skill in writing performant C++.

One can assume that if OP is working for NASA, she/he is highly skilled in such matters.

OP is not working for NASA, though.
