For most developers who are familiar with open source, the value of the technology has long been tried and proven. The opportunity to both contribute to and take from a global pool of free code created by like-minded programmers fosters creativity and a sense of community – and of course, significantly accelerates the time that it takes for innovation to make its way from idea to reality.

"At our Robert Zajonc Institute of Social Studies, we have been dealing with simulations of social processes for over 30 years. Initially, we used for this many variants of Pascal language (Turbo Pascal, Borland Pascal, Delphi and ALGO for didactic purposes) and, of course, C/C++.
As the Pascal language began to go down in history, we looked for another language that could be used both for educating students and for prototyping scientific simulations. We needed the same source code to be used on Windows and MacOS computers, and possibly also on Linux workstations, although that was our main use of C++ there. We wanted the language to have modern syntax with strong typing and classes, and to be as fast as possible. We also wanted the language to be easy to learn for beginners, but also very flexible as our students gain experience.
So, our choice fell on Processing, which we have been using for almost ten years.
The only problem we have struggled with over the years is the need to create two parallel applications for each model: one in Processing as a prototype, and the other in C++ for massive model testing on workstations. It seemed like a waste of time since the syntax of these languages is quite similar.
Processing to C translator & library is an attempt to solve this dilemma."

Uwaga, użytkownik "Tomasz pieniądze" ( @tvpinfo) to troll. Widziałem jak przed chwilą zasypał grupę Konfederacji chamskimi gifami.

"Szkalowanie i oczernianie innych ludzi?"
Nie, eksploitowanie słabości technicznych wspólnej platformy komunikacji.
Jeśli ktoś ci się nie spodobał możesz mu to powiedzieć a nie zmuszać wszystkich śledzących grupę do ładowania sobie setek takich samych gifów.
To jest egoistyczne świństwo.

Cxxtools
Cxxtools is a comprehensive C++ class library for Unix and Linux.
The library includes classes for serialization, unicode text, multi threading, networking, rpc, http client and server, xml, logging and many more.
While providing a large amount of features it is still very easy to use.
The use of modern C++ makes cxxtools very efficient while offering a high level abstraction.
Cxxtools is published under the LGPL with extensions, which allows you to use cxxtools in commercial applications as well.

Tntdb
Tntdb is a C++ library which makes accessing SQL databases easy and robust. Just a few lines of code is enough to connect to the database and accessing data.
Tntdb has drivers for postgresql, sqlite3, mysql and oracle. A special replication driver writes data to multiple databases and read from one. It is some kind of 'poor mans database replication'.
Resources are handled automatically. The developer can't forget to free resources like disconnecting from the database. All objects used in tntdb are internally reference counted so that copying around objects is cheap and easy.
Prepared statements are fully supported to prevent problems with SQL injection. Where prepared statements are not supported by the database, tntdb emulates the use.
Tntdb is thread safe and supports connection pooling and caches prepared statements for best performance.
Errors are handles by throwing exceptions, which makes developing robust database applications a no brainer.
