How many of your coworkers deal with C/C++ code and not JS and other "web tech"?

The way i see it, the return of the Mac has coincided with the rise of the Web. This because the web started as a document layout format, and thus formal courses found themselves in the same group as "media production" (print media in particular).

And that world has been a Mac bastion since the earliest day of gray scale screens and Photoshop 1.0.

Not many, actually they all worked with web stuff(RoR,Javascript) and elastic search, while I was working with Microsoft Asp.NET and other web stuff.
