+Squeezing out performance from hardware, while providing flexibility and expressiveness, today C++ is one of the most prominent programming languages used in science.

+[Cult.repo](https://www.cultrepo.com) shot a documentary about C++, featuring its creator, several world-class C++ experts, CERN, and also ROOT. Check out [the trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXwTRzywDSk), waiting for the release of the full documentary on June 4th!
