I think you have not understood "C is the desert island language". Java is very much used for application because C++ is a nightmare, C is prehistoric, ... Recently I have migrated a large application from RedHat 6 to RedHat 7. A lot of code in Ada, C++, Java (all using corba), many scripts in shell, Perl, Awk, make. Most of the code changes needed were in C++. Most of the new applications here are developed in java or C#.

Modern C++ is a pleasure to work with, despite lacking a packaging ecosystem like Maven's. Though I agree it's way too easy to shoot oneself in the foot. Specially when dealing with large teams of not-so-great corporate developers.

  So, translated to most real life terms, C++ is a nightmare :)
