C++ language is an Object-Oriented Programming Language that comes with certain generic features that enable its users to create different kinds of web applications as well as software infrastructures such as E-commerce platforms, desktop applications, and, websites. C++provides certain tools that allow developers to handle demanding development projects. The continuous update in this technology makes it even more efficient for application development needs.
This post contains a list of popular applications and software that are written using C++. Most of the C++ applications are used in our routine tasks. Prominent giants like Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. have most of the applications written in C++. Some of these applications are written partly in C++ whereas some are written completely in C++.
Apart from applications various Operating Systems, Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), Compilers, Device Drivers, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are written in C/C++. Such Operating Systems include Windows 95, XP, 98, 2000, Symbian OS, Apple OS, and BeOS. General C++ applications include MySQL, Mozilla Firefox, and Adobe Photoshop, etc.
Applications developed in C++
Certain applications that are developed with C++ languages, as well as C++ technologies, are as follows
1. Win Amp Media Player
A popular media application from Microsoft that has been catering to all sorts of audio-visual needs for a long, is developed in C++.
2. Adobe systems
Adobe Photoshop, scanner, Illustrator, acrobat, etc. are developed using C++.
3. Google Applications
Most of the application provided by Google such as Google file system, Google Chromium browser, WebRTC, gRPC, and DeepMind Lab, etc. are written in C++
4. Thunderbird
Mozilla email client “Thunderbird” is written in C++ programming language.
5. Spotify
The popular audio streaming application Spotify has a back-end written in C++. The robust technology and powerful features of C++ make it possible for Spotify to manages the enormous amount of data.
6. Youtube
Though YouTube is written in a few different languages still, C++ was used for the core function of this application i.e. video processing.
However, apart from applications, C++ has also been used for developing Operating Systems. The strongly typed and fast programming feature makes it an ideal choice for operating systems and browsers. C++ also has a wide collection of system-level functions for writing low-level programs.
Moreover, because of the quick performance of C++, most programs have their delivering program written in C++.
Operating Systems and Browsers Written in C++
i. Apple OS
Some parts of Apple OS X along with iPod are written in C++
ii. Microsoft Windows OS
Various software of Microsoft is developed using C++. Also, applications like Windows 95, ME, 98; XP, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, the IDE Visual Studio, etc. are written in C++.
iii. Firefox
The open-source internet browser of Mozilla i.e. Firefox is developed completely in C++.
iv. Chrome
Chrome browser by Google is the fastest and safest browser which is also written in C++.

C++ Dev Environment
C++ development environment is nothing but software platforms that facilitates developers with a comprehensive set of tools for software development in a single product over C++ programming languages. They work with specific platforms in order to remove barriers involved in the software development process.
Few phases are involved in creating and executing a C++ application using a C++ dev environment, such as- edit, pre-process, compile, link, load and execute. Apart from this C++ systems consist of three parts i.e. C++ Standard Library, the language, and Program Development Environment.
