They are so often spoken of in the same breath in ways that other languages are not, that I think a lot of people do forget that they are not the same thing nor even that culturally close.
- noobermin 8y agoGoing to be honest, whenever I see or hear someone put them in the same category, it usually colors my impression of said person as essentially never really learning C++.

- novembermike 8y agoEh, I'd call them culturally close. I always read it as "the most common systems programming languages", since that's how the phrasing is usually used.
- jordigh 8y agoEven that can be disputed. They typically have quite different domains of applications. Gamedev is seldom done in C; operating systems are seldom done in C++. Their different level of abstraction ends up having them applied to different things.
- scoggs 8y agoI would assume a lot of recruiter-types or folks just getting their feet wet into programming would assume C++ is just a newer or more powerful "Edition" / "Version" of C.
