No, it is actually mostly C, with Rust making inroads these days.

 C++ has superseeded C with that for a long time with Job offers.
Rust is a language a lot of people talk about and no one actually uses.
 

And you don’t have to be doing “system-level” programming to be needing
event-driven paradigms.

 If you make asnychronous I/O you need performance, and this isn't
possible with Python.
 

No they aren’t. You cannot easily define a C++ function that returns a
general function or class as a result, just for example.

 function<void ()> fn();
 

That is a /long/ way from treating functions as first-class objects. But it is certainly a step in that direction, as are lambdas.
You also claimed that classes are first-class objects in C++.  Have you anything to back that up?
