C++ because I use it for embedded systems, interfaces with and can easily use C code (opening up the ability to use 40+ years of libraries and already written code), and I'm 43 years old and don't feel like learning an entirely new programming paradigm (I like OOP it makes the most sense to me).
I like being able to drill down and manage all my own resources like memory, etc. when I need to as well. I'll use raw pointers with higher level abstractions all day depending on what's convenient.
Wow! This is so cool, I'm learning C++ myself :)
