The Developer Ecosystem in 2018: Key Trends for C and C++

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

It seems that among all the respondents developing in C, 48% have abandoned all unit testing frameworks. This is a hike of 18% compared with last year. In contrast, among C++ developers the abandon rate soared by 20% this year.

The C++17 standard was officially signed last year and is now seeing growing adoption numbers: 18%, compared with 12% last year. However, while nearly half of all respondents who are not on C++17 yet plan to upgrade to one or another new standard, only 8% of those who are not on C++17 yet are considering moving to C++17 in the next 12 months.
