no, because literally every application except the most trivial touch c.
every major RBMS is c or c++.
you don't write frontend's with c/c++ but if you're interacting with a datastore most are c.
the problem with c and c++'s age are legacy behaviors related to them we've since determined are not beneficial to actual programs and make reasoning about them harder.
- jjeaff 7y agoOf course everything touches c. But it's mostly all open source stuff that is maintained by a large community of coders and is mostly underlying dependencies. When you are developing software, you just want that stuff to work. You don't want to have to dig around in the internals to figure things out. That's why scripting languages have become so popular.
