It was great to see how C++ has evolved over the decades and how it has been applied across such a wide range of domains, from video games and embedded systems to financial markets. The documentary also highlights that many other programming languages including Python, Java, and even newer ones like Rust, have been deeply influenced by C++ in their design and features.</p>
