    Dang. It seems like there is a lot of momentum around transitioning away from C/C++.

    Is C++ going to be the new FORTRAN/COBOL/PERL in 30 years?

      There is. But it won’t be fast, because of the humongous amount of existing C and C++ code. They won’t disappear for a long time, it will just get less and less over time.
