Is C++ dying?

Question

i mean you're hardy hearing about C++ these days

on all the "most famous programming languages" website C++ is not even anywhere to be found..

should i keep learning C++?

or start learning the more famous ones?

Answer 1

Never stop learning C and C++. They are more closer to hardware than any other language but machine language & assembly. Also, majority of modern PC apps are written using C++ and other C derivative languages.

Answer 2

I have a feeling, as a fellow C++ coder, that the other languages are "famous" because they are much easier to learn. They are advertised more than C++ because of this reason. When coding is closer to writing sentences, instead of something esoteric like this: cout << "Hello" << endl;
It's much easier to understand what print() would do than what cout does, and on top of that, you have to know what '<<' and '>>' do as well, which involves a lot of computer vocabulary to get.

EDIT: But is C++ dying? Heck no

Answer 3

why would anyone downvote this question?
you got to help others not hate on them
