Performance you can count on

The systems language behind browsers, game engines and trading platforms: zero-cost abstractions since 1985.

Bjarne Stroustrup's 1983 'C with classes' grew into the language of performance-critical software: browsers, game engines (Unreal), trading systems, and databases like ClickHouse.
