According to the TIOBE Index, C++ is still one of the most popular languages. So don’t hesitate to keep learning this language that is still powering the world!
C++ is everywhere. In particular, it powers more technologies than we acknowledge its accomplishment. Most operating system kernels are written in C++, including Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android and so on. Modern browsers are also written in C++. like Chrome, Firefox, etc. If you want to develop mainstream games, chances are you’d need to use C++. Even programming languages compilers and interpreters are implemented in C++ too. Furthermore, large companies such as Facebook also may need C++ developers to help optimize their apps or work on their products. C++ is indeed everywhere!
So, if you want to make some noise, then learn C++!
C++ plays an essential role in modern times as many contemporary systems such as operating systems, web browsers, databases, etc. have C++ code in at least some part of their codebase. And with its popularity and the peaks are:
- C++ Popularity and High Salary: It is used by some 4.4 million developers worldwide. Also, C++ developers are on demand and they hold some of the most high-paying jobs in the industry with an average base pay of $110,069 per year.
- C++ has a Large Community: There is a large online community of C++ users and experts that is particularly helpful in case any support is required.
- C++ In Databases: There are many modern-day databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, MemSQL, etc. that are written in C++.
- C++ In Operating Systems: All the major operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Android, Ubuntu, iOS, etc. are written in a combination of C and C++.
- C++ In Web Browsers: A lot of web browsers are developed using C++ such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.
- C++ In Graphics: Applications requiring graphics such as screen recording programs, digital image processing, computer vision, etc. use C++ due to its high speed.
- C++ In Embedded Systems: There are many embedded systems that use C++ such as GPS systems, smart watches, MP3 players, etc.
- C++ is Portable: Programs developed in C++ can be moved from one platform to another.
Although C++ is notorious for being complex and hard to use correctly, it’s still being actively worked to be kept to the purpose, so all in all C++ won’t be going away even though a lot of languages have been trying to take its place.
