C++ made its way to the top of a wide range of ratings of programming languages, and it is scoring, moreover, popularity points, for example in the [Tiobe](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) index. C++ got its notorious "dead language" badge during the noughties, while it was dormant and the language standardization committee fell off the radar. But the language is experiencing a renaissance since the C++11 standard. It is arduously getting new features and functionality, every three years. Many problems claimed by the "dead C++ witnesses" have been solved, but since such specialists have stopped developing using C++ - or got a smattering of C++ during courses (from those very "witnesses") - they continue repeating and reiterating the myths and legends of the horrors of C++. -## Reals programmers learn C++ using Linux/Vim/gcc +## Real programmers learn C++ using Linux/Vim/gcc If you are unfamiliar with the aforementioned combo, we recommend you concentrate on learning the basics of C++ alone.
