Ten years ago, that was the feeling. C++ was perceived as a dead end. Everything was going to be Java or C#.

But it didn't die. And today there are more C++ jobs available than a decade ago.

In contrast, today there are some new languages that can actually be good contenders for C++. My personal favourite is Dlang.

Kind of true, depends where you look at.

Compilers, HPC, GPGPU, game engines, OS drivers, C++ is probaly the king of those domains.

Distributed computing, GUI frameworks, mobile apps, CNCF, other contenders rule the day.
