Do developers use C or C++ anymore for anything other than operating system code?
I used to be an application software maintainer for a commercial UNIX operating system group. The classic old utilities were written in C. The desktop utilities (Motif, CDE, etc.) we're written in C++.
That was in the mid to late 1990s.
Most newer Linux distributions have C code for core applications and a somewhat greater variety of coding languages for applications.
Golang is an example of a comparatively newer application language.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
