CUDA is an extension of C++ just like C++ is an extension of C. Deployed CUDA is growing exponentially. C++ is definitely not a dying language!

Nit pick: there are CUDA extensions for multiple programming languages, e.g. Fortran, but indeed the CUDA extension for C++ is the most widely used.

This is similar how there are OpenMP extensions for multiple languages, but the one for C/C++ is the most widely used.
