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

When I'm going tofor 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 of open source applications I know in this area hashave been written in C, Perl and, Python, Bash script, AWK andor even PHP, but no one goes to useuses C++.

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

Is there any satisfiablesatisfactory reason to use C++?
