C++ is a skill that is in demand in the US as well, and age doesn't matter a bit, especially as many of the younger crowd can't or won't learn it.

- triceratops 7y ago> as many of the younger crowd can't or won't learn it. Or don't need to learn it. Web dev jobs are more plentiful than C++ jobs and need different skills.

- triceratops 7y agoYou're assuming that "write websites" is the only thing a web developer does. Running web services at scale requires polyglots who understand multiple tech stacks as well as distributed computing, databases, networking, and operating systems.
