Which language is most suitable for an efficient web-crawler?

Question

Hello, i need to write an web crawler and i need need which is best language for performance like memory and performance ..

Edit: Original title was "which language is optimized for speed and perfomance c++ or C#"

Answer 1

A Google search would give you an instant answer - C++ is (generally) a better performing language.

Answer 2

I'd say that, if you know what you're doing, C++ is more likely to be efficient than C#.

On the flip side, C# is probably easier to work with and to optimize your app in.

So, since you have to ask, I recommend C# in your case. ;)

Answer 3

Of course C++. You can manage every byte of memory there, while C# is Managed Code, where you tell the framework what you want to do and the framework does the things you usually do in C++. But if that's the main motive - don't stop at C++ and get right to machine code, Assembly.

Answer 4

C++ virtually always offers the best performance of any language that supports modern programming techniques like generic programming and OOP. You pay a price for this though - it's substantially harder to use than C#.

Answer 5

i need to write an web crawler

In that case, the internet traffic is probably your bottleneck, so the language does not matter at all.
