> Hickling pointed to Java, which has long “seemed to be replacing C++ itself,” but hasn't. Just like I said when this article was originally posted last December, this is totally ignorant of history. Java obliterated C++ in the enterprise space. All of Java's marketshare today would belong to C++ had Java (or any other language of its ilk) never been produced and/or popularized.
