Where can I discuss? [duplicate]

Question

I'm programming in C++, and I was looking for "the best" compilers (size, features...), but I read "How to Ask", and I didn't post the question. If I need to dicuss (important things, like this), get opinions from the users, what's the best place to? Is there any programming-discussion affiliated site?

Answer 1

###You cannot discuss here

Well you're right you cannot discuss that here since discussion and opinion based questions are not allowed on Stack Overflow and it is written in their How To Ask page.

###You might get the answer at their website

You're creating an application using C++ and my guess would be to use Visual Studio, but you can get that type of help from Official C++ website too.

http://isocpp.org/ Mat corrected me in this; this one is the official site

http://www.cplusplus.com (other site)

###My Suggestion:

You can try out Visual Studio from Microsoft. That includes a compiler for you, to compile the softwares written in C++. But you might go there; on their website!

###Discussion; ummm chat?

Secondly, you can discuss some stuff at the chat rooms in Stack Overflow. They are generally meant to person-to-person discussion or person-to-community discussion. But still note that they are not for questioning. You cannot ask for opinions there.

https://chat.stackoverflow.com

You can look for Lounge<C++> chat room, but I am not sure whether that covers your topic or not.

###Programmers Stack Exchange might be the place

Last thing, you can go to http://programmers.stackexchange.com I think your question would fit there and not on Stack Overflow. But still no site on Stack Exchange is perfect for discussion since this network is a Question and Answer site. You can try out a forum!
