Yes, I know a couple of Fortran 77 apps and libraries which were developed more than 25 years ago and which are still in use today.

My C++ Qt GUI application for NMR spectrum analysis (https://github.com/rochus-keller/CARA) runs since 20 years now with continuing high download and citation rates.

So obviously C++/Qt or Fortran 77 are very well suited to outlast time.

Nice. Interesting to know that Github starts aren't always a representative metric.
Yes, many of my apps and libs were more than ten years old when I pushed them to github. Some projects started before git was invented.
