C++ is 35 years old significantly older than client side web programming. iOS apps are only 12 years old. So, they both showed up well after C++ was a mainstream language.
2) Objective-C++ may look like C++ but their different languages. As always beware of edge cases.
3) WebAsm is somewhat “supported“ by 92% of web browsers which sounds great but isn’t enough to be viable for companies like Amazon. But hey it’s a cool toy if you don’t have real work to do.
4) I have run into plenty of missing C++ documentation when C# documentation was available on Windows. It’s supported sure, but very much a second class citizen.
