I would have liked some more details on what he is using
Eclipse for
though. Is it Android development? And even so, is it just
Java or C/C++
too? Especially significant given Manu's recent comments that:
"I've never met a C++ developer that likes Eclipse ;)"
:p
Carmack is perhaps the games industry's most renowned anti-C++
user. He
rejected C++ for decades, I'm not sure what his current stance
is ;)
And I haven't met John Carmack...
He switched to C++ for id Tech 4 (Doom 3). They started work on
Doom 3 in 2000 from what I can gather so he's been on the C++
trolley for 13 years.
Here's some comments of his about the C++ use in id Tech 4:
