Whats more powerful c++ or python?

Question

im confused cause i've heard that c++ is more powerful but if thats true why python is more used, can i do anything with c++? and which one is better?

Answer 1

I feel compelled to point out that Python is written in C, not the other way around.

Edit here too: Once a language reaches a certain functional level though...it can be written in itself.

Answer 2

Here's kindof a nice answer (the first one on the linked question) combining C, Python, C++, Microsoft, Linus Torvalds, etc:

Edit: This doesn't really address your question (can you do anything with C++) but it supports an opinion I have, that C++ is more powerful, while Python is more approachable (effective power in this case may come down to the particular developer's skill). Hopefully others will have some more concrete statements for you.

Answer 3

were did you see that python is more used than c++?
