Why use C++

Why is C++ so useless and to all the C++ people here what do you use it for?

- It is useless for systems programming because you can just use C and every serious systems programmer does that and every serious kernel/driver programmer hates C++.

- There are nicer languages for userspace programming so why use C++? It doesn't even have garbage collection and its standard library is a joke. Not to mention all the things that are so horribly broken in this language.

Why use C++ at all? Seriously this language is useless and Linus Torvalds agrees.

I didn't say that system programming used C++. I said that it's quite prevalent in the market. Businesses don't like costly and broken things. If C++ were as costly and broken as some would like you to believe, no business in its right mind would use it. Ever.
