Before we go any further, I want to drive a point home. I'm not the biggest fan of C++. In fact, I think it's fair to say that it's far less convenient than Java, C#, JavaScript or any other way we build apps. I also think it's the best way. Those are the top 50 apps. How many of those, do you think, use C++?
