I had a conversation with my brother-in-law about C/C++ programming. And he said that C++ programming is the fastest language next to machine programming. Is that true.

I wouldnt think so. You have a lot of lower level langauges like Macro-assembler and Assembler. so no i wouldnt say it was.
c++ can be faster than assembly. Really depends
on who's writing a the c++ code and who's writing
the assembly code.
c++ is considered a third generation level language.
0. hard wired computers
1. machine langs
2. assemblers
3. procedural langauges - c/c++, pascal, fortran, etc
4. database langs, visual programming, etc.
speed generally decreases on the way down as the language becomes closer and closer to a natural language (like english)
The fastest c++ program will only be as fast as its assembly counterpart, can't be faster. (assuiming we have equivalent levels of skill of the programmers)
