This old article seems like it might be a troll by kornish although perhaps not the author. It nearly lost me at referring c++ being niche. I realize I am in a completely different echo chamber being in the embedded world. But c++ is everywhere and spreading. C gets there first but c++ is never far behind. And it is still the default game dev language too. I'm glad I didn't stop reading though. It is a good article. My echo chamber discounts anything with garbage collection as a toy, so it was somewhat of a shock.
