This comment strikes me as deeply contradictory. I have qualms with C++ as any other C++ programmer, but saying it’s famous for being famous is just ridiculous.

C++ has been used to operate nuclear submarines, airplanes, pacemakers, financial systems, ... over the last few decades. I’d like to know what you consider “battle tested”.
