> But suddenly you find that it's been three years since you've worked with C++, and on reflection, you haven't really been missing out on much of anything at all by not using C++.
True on my case, now using the language mainly on hobby projects, although we are very good friends since 1993.
Personally I would like safer systems programming languages from Mesa branch of languages had more use in the industry, but OS vendors decided to embrace C instead, and we ended up in the exploits everywhere that we enjoy nowadays.
C++ is not perfect, but it surely is way better than C in terms of safety.
Until a big OS vendor decides to push another systems programming language, we won't see any major adoption from the alternatives.
