I think this is the problem. When people talking about c++ is “dead” ,at that time they meant 70% people using to perhaps 5% . Just like we says after industrialization,making clothes by hand is dead . It is irrelevant that there are still some people making clothes by hand . When AI the main way to code and remove 90% of coding jobs. It is also irrelevant to state that there are still 10% people still coding


When people say C++ is dead, they normally are looking at public repos and stack overflow questions. Fairly biased towards newer languages


It doesn't have to be job or career related to be relevant.
