IS C++ PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DEAD?

A recent report has shown that there aren't enough applicants of C++ developers as compared to the jobs available!

Anthony Peacock says “It’s tough to find candidates who are really skilled C++ developers which is exactly what every trading company wants.”

This isn't the case of America or England only but other developed countries such as Germany are also suffering.

[{"selector":"#anim-096b6e63-c874-47f4-a278-a1aed3b2c421","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.48184%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b08faae-8329-46c4-b814-6c8867a3aa2d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a9eb480-906c-43c2-8a65-a2d7acfa1b4f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-151e0cd3-fa31-4c14-8ac8-6dd5981a8945 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But why is this happening?

[{"selector":"#anim-d5b54d86-8307-4b85-9b00-98f2df6bfb73","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-19973341-6488-424b-bb1c-63e1d48b06ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.496736632856301%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

This is so because many developers have dumped C++ programming language due to which now the big tech companies are suffering.

[{"selector":"#anim-02c44e7f-4ed6-4a0f-aff3-5b8519b4297a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c7bd9e94-26f9-4e34-b20f-aee29cc328a6","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

According to Stack Overflow survey 2022, usage of C++ has been dropped by 2% compared to 2021 (from 24.3% to 22.5%).

[{"selector":"#anim-4ad45ab1-7cb0-4cf6-8a5b-ddecbb8068c3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.22961945131945%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0734eb6-00b4-4863-a333-f6c7cb72362f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-230d6698-11c1-4b90-a5a6-f392f65326d9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Many developers have urged to “deprecate” C++ in favor of Rust owing to the stability and security of the programming language.

[{"selector":"#anim-4887efbe-59ed-4f11-afb0-2bf85a30a306","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09ae07b5-db19-46ac-906f-8e9ae356ac41","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41db2719-d35d-40cc-b4f0-b2cab9296903 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But Rainer Grimm, an experienced C++ trainer, states that there is a huge need for C++ programmers in the tech domain.

C++ has ruled many years and earned a spot in the “Big 4” tech companies but has it become a dead language now?
