>No it's not. It's a very niche operating system. It's the most popular operating system except for on phones and it has been for decades. >Why should anyone care about what you consider? Are you an expert in this field? So far you've shown complete lack of expertise... I have over 20 years of experience writing C++ and I know it is used widely. Your characterization of it as niche in embedded or OS is completely wrong. I'm not going to say where I work but you've heard of it. > The Visual C++ programmers usually don't have a good grasp of what good system programming tools / practices would be. Just the very mention of C++ in one's resume would often be enough for that person not being invited to an interview. The fact you keep referring to "Visual C++" and make sweeping generalizations about C++, especially in a systems context, tells me you are severely lacking in expertise. > Pretty sure FreeBSD is the most popular operating system in the world, if you choose that the only computers that matter are those that run FreeNAS. This is such a mischaracterization that you should know better. Windows is on literally billions of computers and embedded things. FreeBSD is not even on most NAS devices. >And so are Python, JavaScript, Rust, Ada, PostScript, Awk, Forth and many, many other languages. What's your point? If you think any of those is as easy to integrate with a C operating system as C++, you're dangerously uneducated and have no place lecturing anybody about anything programming-related, especially systems programming. I don't enjoy being so blunt but you're wasting my time and yours and spreading silly anti-C++ propaganda.
