We have more than 5 C++-alike languages that are crawling around already. In some ways they have portions of mutual compatibility. But in practice this only matters if you decide to embrace the complexity of five different programming languages when building your software. It's already somewhat challenging for projects to manage assembly, C, and C++.

assembly, C, and C++ is one of the most "standard" things to do out there. Unless you are talking about non-standard toolchains of course (everything that isn't clang or gcc based). C++ is mostly a superset of C so all the C++ compilers out there have pure C modes, and assembly integrates really well into C and C++ build systems.
