Last Updated : 06 Mar, 2023

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1979 as an extension of the C languageC++ is a general-purpose programming language and is widely used nowadays for competitive programming. It has imperative, object-oriented, and generic programming features. C++ is a widely popular language among coders for its efficiency, high speed, and dynamic memory utilization. It runs on various platforms like Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, etc.

Go was designed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson to improve programming productivity in an era of multicore, networked machines, and large codebases. The designers wanted to address criticism of other languages in use at Google, It is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. It is often referred to as "Golang" because of its domain name, golang.org, but the proper name is Go.
