C++ is actually the main language on servers too. If you look at large open-source projects like MySQL/MariaDB, this is what they use. Most command line utilities are also either C or C++, because these have no run-time dependencies.

But if you want smaller, simpler tasks, check out Arduino. They don't directly call their "language" C++, but it really is. Under the hood, it is entirely C++ with the GCC toolchain all wrapped up in a nice UI.
