In the past, you had to be pretty passionate about computers to be able to keep a job in the industry. Now, there is so much demand that a whole new wave of new people are getting involved, and for them, C++ is too difficult to learn. So you have a large segment of the industry that is using things like Java and Javascript.</p><p class="ui_qtext_para" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro&quot;, Meiryo, serif;">So, there will always be a need for C++, but now there is also room for jobs that can be done with less training. Relative to this new influx, C++ must seem to be outdated and shrinking, especially to those new people. But in absolute terms, C++ use is growing at a great pace.</p><p class="ui_qtext_para" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro&quot;, Meiryo, serif;">There are a few languages that can compete with C++, like Rust and D, but they are not quite there yet, and the evolution of C++ has greatly accelerated in the past few years. They are now talking about releasing new standards every two years now.</p>
