Using a development language (Python) before putting it into C++
<p>I'm kinda having a debate here with my friend, whether it's OK to have a development language before putting the idea into C++.</p>

<p>When I say development language I mean a language to try ideas out before putting them into the compiled language, in this case C++.</p>

<p>My friend thinks it's unnecessary (and maybe a waste of time) to do this because we basically have to re-write code, or in other words, port the code from the dev language to C++ code.</p>

<p>I think otherwise though, it saves a lot more time to be porting the code than to wait for the C++ code to be compiled over and over while we test little things out.</p>

<p>FYI, we're talking about code for a small application, the idea is for the entire application (actually a game), once done weighs less than 100MB, however I'm aware the size already compiled is much MUCH smaller than in code.</p>

<p>Of course, this can also go the other way around, should we only use the compiled language (C++) or should we only use the scripting language (Python).</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
