> Most likely the raise of AOT compiled alternatives, for scenarios where C and C++ were only being used due to being compiled languages, big names in C++ compiler world rather put money on their own alternatives, are the two main reasons of the slow down.
What alternatives?
Rust claws at market share but has problems with basic stuff like doubly linked lists, WIP gccrs and memory unsafety,
Carbon looks like a meme with too few people working on it,
Ada has a neglected dialect and a proprietary dialect,
Go has garbage collection,
Zig has not even reached 1.0,
Swift is more of an application language than a systems language,
Circle is dead.
