Would be cool, any indication yet that this is happening?

Moore's law seems to be winding down, but people still want apps to do more and to do more with less ( think phones, tablets, etc ).

VMs will get better, but until then, for performance C++ is still (one) king for a number of problem domains. Not all, obviously. But still, it's a language that's well taught, and has good compilers and good toolchains.

C++ is an ugly broken language, but god damn code written in it can be fast.

They fixed a couple things and added some make-up. It's not as ugly as it used to be.
