I agree 100% , C++ was always here and never needed hype. C++ will still be here 50 years from now ( and C too ). Why ? because it does the job and the codebase

I agree 100% , C++ was always here and never needed hype. C++ will still be here 50 years from now ( and C too ). Why ? because it does the job and the codebase is huge ! Can we say the same for other languages ? Maybe , maybe not.

In 50 years, it'll still be there, together with Lisp and COBOL :)
