C++ is pretty awesome but anyone who thinks a single language is the solution to all problems is dumb... unless you're smart enough to realize that the one language to rule them all is PHP of course!
If there is anything I've learned in my 10+ years as an engineer, it's that there are no good or bad languages, just pros and cons of each in different applications.
Except NodeJS. Never use JavaScript on the backend.
i find javascript to be a great language for throwing together quick and dirty hacks.
For small programs and scripting, Node is amazing. I've even written some CLI utilities in Node as standalone executables. I think most people who bash it have either never used it, or haven't used it lately.
