C/C++ is still the tool of choice when you need to eke out max performance from the available hardware. That could be because the hardware is weak (maybe an embedded system) or because you need real time performance (game engines come to mind) or because you need to perform very large calculations (e.g. train neural networks, simulate fluid dynamics). When the going gets tough, the tough reach for their C/C++ compilers. :)
