NaCL on Android, P\Invoke on C#, and JNI on Java exist for a reason.
Sometimes the VM gets in the way, sometimes the library, or bit of hardware you need to use, only has a C or C++ interface library.
Learning C++ is still important, because, developers who don't understand how C++ works have little chance of knowing how to find an entry in a COM export table.
C++ isn't coming back, it never really went away.
