When C++ was initially developed in 1978, it was unique in that there was no other language that incorporated object-oriented programming that could produce efficient machine code. Object-oriented programming languages did exist, of course, but the code they produced was often interpreted and therefore far too slow for anything but the most trivial of tasks. C++, like all object-oriented programming languages, is capable of solving highly-complex problems in a highly efficient manner, breaking larger problems down into smaller, simpler problems. But while newer languages such as Java and C# are just as capable as C++ and very much easier to program, they simply cannot match C++ in terms of performance. That remains unique to C++ today as it did when it was first released in 1985, and is the reason all major applications, including C++ compilers themselves, are still largely or wholly written in C++. The very first C++ compiler was written in C, of course.
