Can also confirm c++ is alive and well at FAANG. Might still be the most popular language for most new projects.

* for some values of FAANG

C++ has been dead and effectively banned at amzn for years. Only very specific (robotics and ML generally) projects get exemptions. Rust is big and only getting bigger

Fair! I would say people would be surprised to learn pretty much every large AI project is mostly c++ because of its interop with python.

Some FAANGs focus on AI more than others.
