WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
All the current major game engines are C++. C hasn't been widely used since the Quake 3 days.
While yes the Vulkan & OpenGL APIs are pure C, that's very, very little of what you actually code against. You very quickly abstract that or use a middleware like bgfx or whatever. In the case of Vulkan while the spec API is C, there's first-class C++ wrappers/bindings provided as well: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp
And other than Vulkan & OpenGL, you'll find that most other APIs/libraries in the space are C++, not C. Valve's libraries are C++. Dear ImGui is C++. Bullet & PhysX are C++. Microsoft's glTF SDK is C++. etc...
You can argue endlessly about how "true C++" those all are or if they're just "C with namespaces" but that's largely irrelevant - they aren't C and they need a C++ compiler.

As I read the OP's sentence, there's such no implication of causality.
This is the sort of extremely sensitive personal situation that requires a gentle touch. Internet comments about this kind of thing, including questions with assumptions baked into them, can easily come across as personal attacks. The burden is on the commenter to avoid that (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
