Why is C++ still being updated?

Question

With so many modern languages in use currently, why is C++ still used and why is it still updated?

Answer 1

C++ - general purpose programming language, for all things, but it excels in things that require low-level system access as well as game programming, especially 3D, as @Rain says.

Java - object oriented language that is platform independent, meaning it runs on all platforms, like Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc. Java is also good at game development, and also is great for people who develop for all platforms.

Python - if you want to be a professional hacker, or write scripts that quickly do things, Python is your friend.

Answer 2

Each language specializes in specific things. C++ is a language that is a low level language which runs fast and uses OOP. It's good for software programming and game programming, especially big projects in 3D. Consider it like tools. Each one does something different or is good at something different.
