White House urges developers to dump C and C++::Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.
Good luck with that, C/C++ are still crazy popular
well… that’s the point - if they weren’t this wouldn’t be a concern
We really need to get the kids to stop programming with punch cards. /s

C++ is also the standard in game dev. You may see some C# here and there, but most engines, public available or otherwise, are built on C++.
If it is a AAA game, I can assure you it is most likely made with C++.

Basically, C runs the modern world. WiFi, MacOS, Windows, Linux, and so much more
Most of the embedded world uses those.
