#2Not to mention the time saved in testing due to the compiler catching many errors only unit tests could catch in python.

#3I'm curious as to has this plays out at scale. If you can reduce the number of machines needed by a factor of 10, then apart from the hardware/power savings, there are staffing savings too. Managing 1000 machines is different from managing 10,000

#4It's sad that you need to justify using one of the most established and longest serving languages/platforms ever.

#6Ah one of our core systems is in C++, though it is for video processing and needs to work with multiple platforms. I suppose nobody has questioned the C++ choice because its a more "typical" use-case

#7Sounds very inspiring.
Any other good places to start learning about C++ 11/14 for complete beginners with JS and other programming languages?
I'm very much interested to create proof-of-concept for high performance SaaS services and play with C++ as it might be useful to build Node.js extension later.

#8I like these "You CAN do X with Y!" types of posts - especially when it's not the same drum being banged over and over.
I think there's a really big part of this case study that isn't mentioned (perhaps because there is currently no data): bringing on more engineers. It really seems as if the number of C++ developers ready to be a part of the startup ecosystem is small. That is the impression that sites like HN leaves me with at least.

#9I'm more curious as to the decision not to stick with Rust. Sounds like there was a prototype. I'm guessing there were some libraries missing.
Would be cool to know more about that.

Programming - principles and practice using C++[1] should be appropriate for beginners. It's a long book at 1000+ pages, but it is designed for novices and explains subjects such as why one needs functions, how to handle errors, GUIs, testing, etc.
The C++ Programming language (4th ed)[2] is for experienced programmers. A tour of C++ is the short version of the former.[3]
