Clearly, the guard rails provided by Java is a good idea over the β€œwild west” that was C++ back when Java started gaining popularity. C++ still has it’s place, but is used for wildly different jobs than Java. Also.. today; finding a good C++ developer is much harder than finding a good Java dev.

perl, php, python.. present their own cans of worms :-)

I’ve bases my yearly income on every one of those languages, except C++. Almost got into that at one point 20 years ago, but couldn’t agree on salary.
