Answer 1

The power of C++ is in the amount of control it gives the programmer while still being feasible to work with. Most commonly used languages like Java and Python tend to memory and computational overhead that can be an issue in some applications. C++ doesn't really have these issues and can really give you a huge power boost when will written. The trade off for this increased power tends to be in the complexity of the code, the difficulty in maintaining the code, and time required to write it.
