If C++ will exist in 10 years from now

Apart from it being quite an interesting do-it-all type of language, solely seeing the huge amounts of existing codebases in 'slow' fields like production/manufacturing industries I am pretty sure it will.

Even if new applications stopped being written in C++ today, the amount of legacy code written in C++ would ensure that there would be jobs for C++ programmers for many decades to come. But of course, people will almost certainly still be writing new C++ code 10 years from now.
Just like they are still writing new COBOL.
And earning lots of money in doing so.
Indeed. I like to see it as hazard pay. Don't sell your soul for cheap.
