- pieter 17y agoI agree, most of the points seem to apply more on C than on C++. Also this: 10. You will hardly be seen as a hacker if you don’t know C++ there are enough kernel hackers that are excellent C programmers, but don't know C++ that well. and this: 8. There will always (or, at least, for a very long time) be a niche for C++ There will also be a niche for COBOL programmers. That doesn't mean you should learn COBOL.
