These days it makes more sense to start from the other end if you ask me, and that has been true for quite a while. I find that my C++ style has drifted further and further into value land with time, which is a major difference to C where the same style is pretty much impossible to pull off. From one perspective, the language gets less and less complex; but the flip side is that all the old stuff is still in there and has the potential to cause a lot of trouble if you're not familiar with the details. Taken as a whole, it's pretty much an impossible language to master and has been for some time.
