For example, right now is the only native language available in all mobile SDKs.
So unless one wants to add extra layers to their tools for writing portable native code, with the consequent increase in development costs, C++ is the only game in town.
For example, Xamarin is great, but now on top of debugging Java, Swift, Objective-C, C#, one also needs to debug their glue code into the platform APIs.
I just picked Xamarin as an example of extra layers, I think they are great.
