Are C++ programmers needed in big companies?

Question

I started learning C++ so I want to whether it has some perspectives or not

Answer 1

Writing firmware and drivers for hardware is normally C while GUI apps are anything from Java to Python.

So where does C++ fit? It's general-purpose so you can do anything with it. It's possible to write firmware or plug it into SDL/SFML and make games or GUI apps and system tools.

Generally the industry mainly looks for interpreted/JIT-compiled languages for in-house stuff and C++ for products (example games, office apps). C++ is most popular in the gaming scene.

Web dev is the most popular right now, _but_ someone has to program browsers, utilities, etc. So C++ is worth learning. It's ubiquitous and gives you a good foundation in programming because it doesn't force any paradigm on you (though most use it as an OO language). There are loads of resources out there too, and libs for every purpose. C++ compiles to nearly every platform, too. I could go on.

There aren't loads of C++ jobs compared to some, but you'll never be without potential employment either. Other languages may or may not last, C++ is forever.

Answer 2

It really depends on the company and what they're focus is on for coding. For example, companies that use coding to program hardware and stuff outside of computers may use C++ while companies that do scientific research may use Python. Nevertheless, C++ is still a very powerful and useful language and many companies would definitely be hiring people who are really good at programming with it.
