Answer 1

Since it is a Turing complete language it can serve any general purpose :). Languages that are not are called domain specific languages. CSS is a pefect domain specific example, because you can ONLY use CSS for styling. C++ on the other hand is general purpose because you can almost program anything with it. From games to enterptise applicaymtions and embedded systems.

"Before the initial standardization in 1998, C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs since 1979, as an extension of the C language as he wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C, which also provided high-level features for program organization."
