C++? Yes if you want to work in the games industry or at Google.
In general, I'd say no. The niche it fills (high-level features bolted on to a low-level language) is not that useful and it doesn't fill it well.
C, on the other hand, is worth learning.
- SamReidHughes 13y agoThen explain why people familiar with C++ choose to use it instead of crippling themselves by limiting themselves to C.
- tokenrove 13y agoThat's not universally true. Some people can't give up C++'s sugar once they've become addicted to it, but you also have people like Martin Sustrik abandoning C++ for C. (I would say, moreso, people recognizing where C++ can provide a real benefit and those places where it's unnecessary.)
- SamReidHughes 13y agoC++'s features aren't sugar and using powerful tools is not an addiction.
- jagawhowho 13y ago0 cost generics are a pretty good non-sugar reason to use c++ over c.
