Questions, answered.

Because it's fast, and in competitive programming time matters a lot. C++ runs close to the metal, so solutions that would time out in slower languages pass comfortably. It's also the language of nearly every editorial, contest, and top competitor — so learning it means you can read the whole community's work.
