Here we go again... C++ is used heavily from everything from Games, VFX programs (modellers, renderers/raytracer, compositors, paint programs), autopilot and control systems (cars, fighters (JSF), SpaceX are using it for their systems on their rockets), database systems, webservers, etc, etc. There's a reason it is used a lot - in the real world it gets jobs done well by people who know what they're doing with it. Saying "the world has moved on to Java, C#, etc, etc" is pushing it, given that the base system for many of those things are written in C++ (most of the native JNI stuff is C++, most Javascript compilers/interpreters are C++, many databases (Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB) are written in C++. You may not like C++, and it might be difficult, and it may have worts, but thousands of people are using it very successfully for things no other language can do to the same degree overall. |
I meant something like: other languages have risen in popularity because they are better than C++ for many types of projects.
