The fact it's as old as it is, and it's still relevant, speaks to how powerful it is. Almost all languages of a similar age lack the complexity to be able to still function in the modern age, and C++ is able to keep up, even though it's not at all pretty in terms of writing code. Most modern programming languages are just skins for C++, to make it easier to program in

The same thing can be said of regular C though, to a much greater extent, and it is fairly pretty.
