I am bemused by C and C++ fanatics who simply do not and apparently can not see beyond C and C++. Like it is impossible for society to surpass those languages, and that everyone will use them a million years from now... We will obviously still have them for a while, but anyone that thinks we have reached maturity in an industry that is around 50 years old is just not thinking objectively.
