Mac and Windows kernels are also written (predominantly) in C. So not sure what industry you're referring to.

If anyone's interested - here's Linus on C++ in the linux kernel: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus

Mac drivers (which run on kernel space) are written on a C++ subset.

Windows has been slowly migrating to C++ since Vista, when VC++ got kernel support for C++ code, naturally one just doesn't move something like Windows to C++ just like that.

> First off, let me point out that this library is used to implement large parts of the OS. There are hundreds of developers here who use it. So unlike, uh, some other things that get tossed onto github, this project is not likely to wither and die tomorrow.

That website is the stupidest shit though. They should be playing with rocks with that stupid ultra-minimalistic bullshit they spew.

Also, both windows and mac has considerable and growing amount of C++.
