I've worked with C++ on and off since the early 90s. In that time I've seen many languages come and go, flirted with a few (Python and Rust, mainly), but last year when it came time to write a new app from scratch there was no hesitation to use C++. Sure, it's huge, it's overly complex, and there's large amounts of it I'll probably never use or understand. But I love it, and it works, and it's fast as hell with a million libraries available.
