Choose a compiler. G++, clang, VS and several other less known. Only assembler languages have more compilers.

almost unused
That is the less aplliable one, even if it is becoming less used since for many tasks modern languages like C# are a better choice.

If you know C++ you will not escape from it, especially if you know it well. It is both arcane and powerful so skilled practitioners are always in demand and if you happen to be one soon or later you'll be co-opted to C++ developer.

Disclaimer: I'm pushing the subject mainly for fun, I like C++ and C but I'm not a fanboy nor I really believe in general "superiority" of one language over another - it all depends on the purpose and the field of application. Wonderglue, nails, screws and hot glue are all great tools in their respective fields.
