Yeah, but a lot of that stuff is actually written in a combination of c and c++. Chrome for instance is mostly c++. Oracle JVM is c++, etc.

According to Stroustrup (C++ Apps[^]), the Mars Rover uses C++ too.
Quite funny that in a world where so much really does run C, he manages to compile a list in which over half actually used C++. Major fail.

That is why we created the Uninstall function.
Good-bye Chrome.

Why let reality (and this update came out sometime over the weekend) get in the way of a good clickbait:
Quote: Update: We have been contacted by Rob Wu, a developer on the Chromium project - the open-source foundation for the Chrome browser - who has informed us that this change was not intentional but, rather, an unintended result of fixing a previous security issue (CVE-2015-1297). He confirmed that the issue will only be seen if the YouTube app is installed and that, at the moment, apart from disabling AdBlock or whitelisting YouTube, the only solution, as described above, is to uninstall the app. The problem is expected to be patched in the upcoming weeks or, at least, when Chrome 46 is released.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Problem is I don't usually read numbers if they are not precisely what I'm looking for - in that case I don't read the surrounding text 
Also, it is a truth universally acknowledged that 93% of percentages are made up on the spot

When did software development become a buzzword bingo process that sounds more like a military strategy than working with people?
The intent is simple: accelerate quality software development. Catch and fix bugs early. Minimise last minute surprises. Release products timely.
Personally, after more than 30 years in this industry, hearing the the same chant over and over again (and even contributing to that chant myself) does it not occur to anyone that the entire process is broken if we're "all" still talking about this?
I answered my own question: people. Software development is unique combination of mostly unqualified introverts working with incompetent extrovert managers to produce a product that doesn't work and where those same people are then asked to fix the "process". And anywhere you have that combination (government is another good example) the results are almost always bad, and the chanting will continue.
So, that's the new litmus test -- look at what people are ranting about and for how long, and you'll find a process that is broken because there are people in all the facets of the process that don't know what they're doing.

Are you trying to tell that problem arise because of incompetent people? You dirty elitarist!

Combine IT and government and the outcome can be explosive! The only success I have in government is when I go around management and do all requirements and deployment myself, without their interference. When management gets involved it is normally a disaster that never gets completed and all the blame is put on the lead developer.

Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home
