C++ scales a bit more easily than C (and thus it's not insane to use for enterprise), but other than that, I agree. There's also better languages out there for them, such as Java, whose tooling is built for basically infinite scale, and Rust, which is getting there for native.

I don't think, most of the problems with C++ is the stupid copy semantics, you can cause performance bugs, but who cares about them when we are having data corruption here and there all the time.
