I did come across some C/C++ code, but those languages uses a math lib, so the code is not nearly as involved. I find it interesting in that QB64 is a c/C++ translator. To that end, if my assumption that the c/C++ languages have a built in math lib to call, why didn't the developers take advantage of it?
As for FreeBASIC, I was there at its inception and everyone here knows I'm nott a fan, to put it mildly, but FB does have the advantage of compiling directly to binaries, where QB64 has to translate to c/c++ and then compile, so of course FB is going to be slower in that regard. My assumption is that once a "finished " project is in exe form, it becomes more a question of the most efficient way the routine was coded making it the fastest, no matter what language it is coded in.
