To add more:

Regarding DBs, there is also ScyllaDB which really take advantage of the modern C++ realtime application design.

DBus is just a spec, the reference implementation is in C, but for example QtDBus is in C++.

Also the original unix predates C++ by ten years at least [1], so it is unsurprising that all descendants (direct or not) are written in C.

[1] C was designed to implement unix in the first place.

I'm not debating that there are a lot of projects written in C++. I only argue that C is enough to be able to learn about state-of-the-art tech in this area.

I'm not even going to debate C++'s merits at this point. Everybody's had enough of that already. There are people who stick to it and there are those who bailed after a while. It's just that, if I have a choice, I won't work with the people who belong to the former group.
