C++ is my bread and butter but I don't want my unborn kids to be raised in the world where C++ is not living at the margins. That's despite of all the awesome people putting their sweat and blood in supporting the little language

From BJP's IT cell? Sarcasm aside, look at the economy: >-20% dip in pandemic. Heck even Pakistan manages to keep its haad above the water. And Bangladesh has more per capita income. But hey, Bhakti is what bhakt do.
