Dear Pren,

I always thought one would most likely comes across C++
areas such as games development and tools linked closely
with the operating systems.

C++ comes close to the metal and therefore can provide
more performant solutions, if I'm not mistaken...

Is this specialisation still the spear point of C++?

Cheers,

Gian
