Hello,
It looks that C++ overcome Java on the Tiobe language ranking for the first time. C++ was responsible for almost 12% all of search engines quarries. This value was seen last time in 2005. In comparison Java declined to only 11.8%. Still a lot, but the trend is declining. 5 years ago this value for Java was around 20%. Python is the leader in the ranking with the 16,5 % shares.
It looks like the policy of frequent releases of new standard for C++ do it job. auto keyword was introduce in C++11 (from 2011) year where Java introduces var keyword in 2018. 7 years after C++. I remembered when people complained that C++ do not take any progress and this is not true. C++ develops rapidly and I can to name just a few features like modules and concepts from c++20. Learning C++ is a good investment. From my perspective learning other technologies are not a problem when you have a good base in the form of c++.
This is definitely good news for U++ as our framework is written in C++. All the best to C++ in the future and another 40 years
