title: Where does C++ really shine?
body: <p>I know C and Python, and I'm moving toward another language for learning purposes. My problem is that I like to learn things with something to do (for example contributing to some project or do something amazing, not boring plain algebra).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to hear suggestions about the fields in which C++ shines and where I can find interesting programming with C++. (For fields I mean networking/GUI programming/algorithms/games ...)</p>
  
  <p>I confirm that I'm interested in open source projects/development.</p>
