C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language. It provides facilities for low-level memory manipulation and is designed to be efficient in performance, making it suitable for system software and application software. C++ has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, implemented through a standard library with even more capabilities. The language includes many useful improvements over C while still being broadly compatible where codebases mix both languages effectively.
In terms of usage statistics recorded on GitHub from 2014-2021, C++ remained among the top ten most popular languages despite competition from newer alternatives such as Python and JavaScript. Its versatility allows developers to write complex programs that can interact closely with hardware or take advantage of high-level abstractions when needed without compromising efficiency at any level.
