I feel that where I work. I'm outnumbered in wanting to write web servers with high-level, non-performance-sensitive business logic in something other than C++. We keep having memory safety problems, but more importantly, it's really slow to develop this way and doesn't match the skillset we're hiring. However, these people are being paid.

The common reason our most senior engineers tell me isn't even that it's too late to switch, it's that "C++ is perfectly fine as long as you use it right" and "it doesn't matter what the outside world uses" and "performance."
