- pjmlp 10y agoYou mean the people doing browser animations in applets? I only used it in 1999, because our teachers at the university wanted to use this new cool language from Sun. At banks. insurances and telecommunications businesses, we were all doing C++ with CORBA and DCOM, using MFC and VB 6 as frontends on the desktop. The amount of Delphi users were already ramping down thanks to Borland's mismanagement.

There are still a niche for C++ in banks (i.e transactional server applications) but pretty much all the business logic applications (that counts for 80% of the code of most banks) were starting turned to Java by that time
