I guess by OS programming I assumed they meant the kernel. Fuchsia is hardly an established OS at the moment so I don't really compare against it, and for Windows, MS's documentation has repeatedly discouraged C++. I'm sure some use C++ in the kernel anyway but I'm not under the impression it's generally accepted.

All the examples I gave, except for Fuchsia, are examples of C++ in production for kernel code. Windows has been slowly moving into C++ since Windows 8, as Microsoft considers C++ the future of systems programming in Windows. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/kernel-create-kernel-mode-binary?view=vs-2017 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/kernel-... https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4oruo1/windows_10_coded_in_c_or_assembler/d4g9we9/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4oruo1/windows_10_code...

  Wow that's good to hear, thanks. (I wasn't familiar with the other OSes so that's why I didn't comment on them.)
