According to that page, straight "C" has a popularity of 15.7% while C++ is just at 10.11% -- so obviously we should all be programming in straight "C" now. C# is at 3.99% I hope the C# and C++ users are ready to "increase" their productivity by jumping ship to straight "C". There is no perfect language/framework out their, but Delphi is just plain the best out their.

I would expect C to be more popular than C++, due to the huge amount of Open Source software that is written in C. Most database systems are also written in C, not C++, although there may be some algorythms written in C++.

C usually produces the fastest compiled code, which is one reason why it is preferred for low level operations. Not always the case, but usually this is proven to be true.

Most OS systems are written in C, not C++. C++ is generally better for Device Drivers and application development.


This does not mean there is no reason to use C++, nor more than it means you should not use X. The best way to determine what you used is by utilizing a Use Case analysis, not only on the requirements, but also on the technology used.
