Looks like C++ rules systems software, the momentum has to be tremendous. It'll be interesting if Rust is listed here someday. I'm guessing the overall library and tooling ecosystem for C++ is going to be difficult to match in any short timescale.

The page misreports some C-based or C-with-classes-based software as C++. E.g. Windows kernel and drivers is written in C, with only some userland stuff written in C++ (and other languages like C#). Yet the page states it uses mostly C++ and a little C. This is really ridiculous C++ fanboyism.
