Is C++ a good choice to make bots?

[Quigley III]

Hello!

I am quite familiar with JavaScript and I need to learn new programming language for making bots.
Bots for communicators (ICQ, Skype, Trillian and many other). Somebody whop type to me this bot should answer everyone.
And the bots for Facebook (private messages), Pinterest (make follows) and other.

Is C++ a good choice for making these kind of bots?

Yea C++ can be usefull, but if you don't know too much programming don't do C++ .
C++ is hard language, and you have to know what are you doing.

For bots python is best, it's very easy to learn language, simple to use, lot's of libraries etc.
I don't know any libraries for Skype or ICQ but i bet you will find some.

Python is your best friend here.


What kind of answers they are suppose to be? It's same every time or based on previous message?

C++ is great if you already have a programming background and dont want to go the lazy way like most hobby programmers to "just get it done the easy way".
with C++ you can create programs that perform way more efficient and faster than stuff made in python or similar, but you have to take care of memory handling and this can cost more debugging time.
i would suggest you start with C# and then move to C++ if you feel like it.
