Asked by TechieNinja42
I've been working in software development for the manufacturing industry, where performance and efficiency are crucial, especially when connecting with external devices. I'm curious if C++ remains a solid choice in this context and if there are other areas where having C++ skills might be valuable.

While it may not be considered "popular" in every sense, C++ is super relevant. It’s especially prominent in game development, particularly for AAA titles. So if you're looking to branch out, that's a field where C++ knowledge really shines!

C/C++ aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They're still relevant and continue to evolve with updates. Just don't get too caught up in the current trends; these languages have stood the test of time!

C/C++ are still solid choices for the manufacturing sector. While they have their limitations, they're foundational languages that underpin much of the software we use today. Just keep in mind that for PLC programming, IEC 61131-3 languages tend to be more prevalent. However, modern PLCs often incorporate C++ for high-performance tasks.
