I also write C++ for a living but feel no threat if I had to suddenly start writing C, C#, Java, Python, Rust, F#, Scala, or what have you. Sure, it would need learning a thing or two but basically they all are driving the same ARM or x86 based compute stack with exactly the same constraints due to computer architecture . My focus has been to brand myself as "domain expert" in few algorithmic domains rather than "C++" expert so this may affect my point of view, though.

> feel no threat if I had to suddenly start writing C, C#, Java, Python, Rust, F#, Scala It isn't necessarily a threat. I'm pretty comfortable in a bunch of different languages but just enjoy C++ more than the others. To use a car analogy, I have no problem driving automatic but I really like driving stick.
