Honestly, for me I get way more use out of a mix of C and Java. If I'm writing something complex enough that C++ is helpfully, usually I don't have as an extreme performance restraint. When I do have serious restraints, C has never done me wrong. Usually when I do something in C++ I look back at it and think it would have been easier in either C or a higher level language. With this said, that's just me and the way the world has worked for me. There are tons of applications were C++ is the right answer and C could never fill the bill. If you just want to learn native and low level programming, learn C instead. Its simpler, easier to learn and has more use cases(Linux kernel, some OS-less micro-controllers) So to answer your question, "ehhh... sure. maybe?"
