While I agree with most of the theme regarding losing market share, C++ isn't going away while HPC/HFT still depends on it, we keep using languages that aren't self bootstrapted and rely on LLVM/GCC for their toolchains, JIT runtimes written in C++, GPGPU programming infrastructure, OS device drivers like on iDevices/Android/ChromeOS/Windows,certified compilers for high integrity computing,...
Even if C++ loses everything else, it is still a big chunck of the industry to keep it going for decades to come.
