Question

As a Linux (server side) developer, I don't know where and why should I use C++.

When I'm going for performance, the first and last choice is C.

When "performance" isn't the main issue, programming languages like Perl and Python would be good choices.

Almost all open source applications I know in this area have been written in C, Perl, Python, Bash script, AWK or even PHP, but no one uses C++.

I'm not discussing other areas like GUI or web applications, I'm just talking about Linux, CLI and daemons.

Is there any satisfactory reason to use C++?
