I did an internship at CERN during 2003-2004. Lots of interesting C++
being used there as well.
Small world, we were at CERN at the same time. There's still a
lot of "interesting" C++ going on there. I haven't worked there
in 5 years but my girlfriend still does. What's worse is how
"interesting" their Python is as well... screwing up C++ is easy.
Doing that to Python takes effort.
Who knows, we might even have been seating close to each other!
I was there under the Portuguese program (ADI) at ATLAS HLT,
from January 2003 to December 2004.
I still like C++, but with C++14 and whatever might come in C++17 it
might just be too much for any sane developer. :\
I know what you mean. C++11 is a lot better than C++2003 but I
don't think anyone could argue with a straight face that it's not
more complicated. Fortunately for me, I started learning D pretty
much as soon as I realised I was still shooting myself in the
foot with C++11.
I do use it from time to time in hobby projects, now less so thanks to D
and friends.
At work, the enterprise world is all about JVM and .NET languages. I
only touch C++, when we replace C++ based systems by the former ones.
Unfortunately this is a field where Fortran is still the dominant
language.
Yep, ATLAS still had lots of it.
A lot of it is being / has been converted to C++, or so I hear.

Thanks for the info,
