Do AI coding tools work well for C++ development?
C++ is one of the harder languages for AI tools due to its complexity, multiple paradigms, and varied codebases. GitHub Copilot and Cursor can assist with C++ but require more review than with Python or TypeScript. For embedded or systems programming with C++, Tabnine's local model option is appealing since code stays private. Always validate AI-generated C++ for memory safety issues.
