  To be completely honest, for a time I was a bit worried that my forte,
the programming language I'm by far most fluent with, would slowly fade
into obsolescence. For many years this seemed to be strongly the case
(first with Java, although that was never the worst contended, and then
especially with C# and other higher-level .NET languages). It's nice to
see that C++ might not, after all, become obsolete anytime soon.

C++ never went away.  If you need performance, Fortran,
C and C++ are the way to go.  In fact, we are the process
of converting our fortran code to C++ for portability,
maintainability and better parallelism.

C++ is still going strong.  It will be interesting to see
how things shake out.  The world isn't built on C++ though.

It depends on what Microsoft decides. ;)

Who cares what Microsoft thinks about anything?

You misquoted me: you left off the wink emoticon. To answer your question 
though, the fact is that MS has a lot of power to affect the way 
developers create software because of the omni-presence of its own 
software. If MS decides to drop C++ as a viable Windows development tool 
(incrementally maybe by creating things like "managed code" and requiring 
C++/CLI to use .Net, etc.), it can do so and you can complain all you 
want to but if you want to deploy your software on theirs, then you will 
just have to grin and bare it. (Another example: No inline assembler in 
VC++ for 64-bit Windows :( ).

Sorry about that. It was unintentional.

I realize after reviewing my post that I probably came across as an 
a##hole. My question could have been worded better. Thanks responding. 
You make some good points.

I was just checking. It was the important part, ya know (though you know 
now that I wasn't being COMPLETELY facetious).

It's internet, you didn't, and don't worry about it. The subtlety of text 
is EASILY misconstrued. If one WANTED to, it is EASY to make text words 
have meanings other than meant by the writer of the text. Actually, there 
are those who would/will/do EXPLOIT that subtleness. They use THEIR 
dictionairies and they own interpretations and MORE THAN SUGGEST that 
THAT is the TRUE MEANING. Forget about the writer's thoughts. The writer 
of the text is OUT OF THE EQUATION. Opportunists of evil? Indeed.

Why?  In spite of microsoft's heavy investment on technologies such as C# 
and Silverlight, the market is still dominated by the incumbent 
technologies.

C++ can be pretty powerful in app design and execution. But it can also 
entangle a meek soul in memory corruptions and screwed exception 
handling across c++ libs built using different compilers.
C++ can be more punishing than Java for impulsive developers.
Java has beutiful javadocs, description for C functions is usually 
available with man pages on unix. C++ compilers should include some nice 
documentation tool with search capability. C++ certainly owns a lot of 
ground.
