1. "C++ was designed with systems programming and embedded, resource-constrained software and large systems in mind, with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use as its design highlights." (Wikipedia: C++, 1.13.23 UTC 21:49)
2. "C++ has also been found useful in many other contexts, with key strengths being software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, video games, servers (e.g. e-commerce, web search, or databases), and performance-critical applications (e.g. telephone switches or space probes)." (Wikipedia: C++, 1.13.23 UTC 21:49)
3. "The C++ standard consists of two parts: the core language and the standard library." (Wikipedia: C++, 1.13.23 UTC 21:49)
4. "Before the initial standardization in 1998, C++ was developed by Stroustrup at Bell Labs since 1979 as an extension of the C language..." (Wikipedia: C++, 1.13.23 UTC 21:49)
5 ."One of the most often criticized points of C++ is its perceived complexity as a language, with the criticism that a large number of non-orthogonal features in practice necessitates restricting code to a subset of C++, thus eschewing the readability benefits of common style and idioms." (Wikipedia: C++, 1.13.23 UTC 21:49)
