Thanks for the links! But the two bigger projects don't contribute to the argument actually. This flecs (which looks very interesting on first sight!) is a C project with C++ API bindings on top as I see it. The other one is a Godot library (which I have to examine closer as I'm specifically looking into Godot). The collection of GitHub project looks mostly like engines. So not really games as such. (Also I'm not sure how recently those projects where started. There was no real alternative to C++ for game engines for a long time. So all older projects are likely C++. This does not prove the point that anybody would grab C++ today).
