Can you show a little function it is better to write in C++ than in Axiom?

I don't know the Axiom language (assuming that it is a language), but
happily the answer doesn't depend on the particulars of the languages.

See the FAQ item “Is C++ better than Java? (or C#, C, Objective-C,
JavaScript, Ruby, Perl, PHP, Haskell, FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada, Smalltalk,
or any other language?)”, e.g. at <url:
https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/big-picture#lang-comparisons>.

It's often a good idea to check the FAQ before posting. ;-)


Cheers & hth.,

You seem confused. That Axiom is not programming language.

It is computer algebra system (CAS). Most CAS are open source:

If you want to discuss C++ code then discuss the code of ones that
are written in C++. Axiom was written in LIsp.

It is one programming language
one can write functions and them have results as in every language...

Why are you asking? To show how much more awesome Axiom is?
If Axiom is Turing-complete, then there is no function written in C++
that can't be written in Axiom, and vice-versa,
