Ten years ago, that was the feeling. C++ was perceived as a dead end. Everything was going to be Java or C#.
But it didn't die. And today there are more C++ jobs available than a decade ago.
In contrast, today there are some new languages that can actually be good contenders for C++. My personal favourite is Dlang.
