actually, that's one of the domains I work in (hard real-time bare metal uC stuff). Although tooling/vendor support can be pretty bad once you get it running there are many advantages to C++. First of all, it can be more efficient than C because of constexpr and stricter aliasing
-
The tooling thing is a really hard obstacle for anyone providing libraries that target semi-arbitrary platforms (like
@RichFelker does). C support isn't perfect with weird compilers either, but it's much, much more dependable than C++ (and especially the C++ stdlib). -
Given a choice between writing almost-C++03 and writing almost-C99, a sane person will choose almost-C99 every time. Newer C++ standards have a ton to offer, *if you can count on it being available*. It's easy to forget just how bad old semi-correct C++ can be.
-
Of particular note, with a lot of half-baked toolchains, many supposedly guaranteed things that modern C++ depends on for "zero cost abstractions" are not actually guaranteed.

Sounds like something fixed by a transpiler ecosystem like JavaScript has. Babel to translate to older language versions, Web pack to make everything tiny, etc. A bunch of fancy / trendy libraries like React and Angular, stories of Ye Olden frameworks like JQuery, and

I know you're fond of assembly so "H" stands for "hexadecimal"... but that's 17 nibbles so I don't think it's valid on most platforms...

Give me extended integer types already.
