Programming on Windows and GNU/Linux

Hey /prog/!

Could you please explain me why on Windows there are a lot of C++ programmers, while on GNU/Linux the great majority of programs are written in C?

The correct term is /prog/rider. O

Is there a reason for that?
The reason is, that C++ used to be considered a good idea. We (the programmers) now know better, the managers etc. do not.
