So these alternatives exist yes, but are they “production ready”- in other words, are they being used. My opinion is that while you can use another language, most companies for one reason or another are still using C++. I just don’t really know what the reason(s) are.

I think about other areas in tech where you can use whatever language, but it isn’t practical to do so. I can write a backend API server in Swift… or perhaps more relevant- I can use AMD’s ROCm to do… anything.
