What can I write in C++?
Here they say that there is a lot of C code in Google/Yandex, and I wonder what exactly they write there? What libraries and frameworks do they use?
I want to write something other than console applications in C++ and preferably under unix. Which way to look ? ( just not Qt - I didn't like it)

Yandex has its own implementation of the regular expression handler engine, which is rumored to be the fastest, although the speed was increased by cutting off some unnecessary functionality. Google actively uses mysql, but not the usual version, which is so popular, but very much rewritten, as a result, the databases there are flat, which also greatly increases the speed of its work, MySQL is written in C++, respectively, and patches are also on it.
Both search engines actively use Apache, it it is written both in C++ and just in C. Accordingly, they are also heavily finished for their needs, many modules for databases and servers are written in C++/C.
This is just a small selection, maybe someone else will throw something interesting?
