For some reason I thought C++ was even older than that.  I just double-checked, and I see CFront existed around 1983:

Yep, I'm aware.

Some people seem to have the mindset that you wouldn't want to use C++ anymore though.  I've used C++ at most of the software jobs I've had, though I know other developers who have rarely used it.

I suppose I should have worded it better than "some projects".
