If you're asking yourself this question, then maybe you'd be better off doing some C#. -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

The next standard is about to be published and as a systems programming language and at the same time, high level language, it's unbeatable today. It's one of the most used languages for systems programming, after C. -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated. First time posters: Do this! ]

(Disclaimer: I consider myself good enough to program for food with C+ +.) If you know e.g. C++ well, you'll be able to pick up e.g. C# (or Java) quickly. Don't forget: language = 1% (or, 10%, top), libraries, programming approaches and methodologies, tools = 99% (or, 90% ath the least).

You should be more afraid of the lifetime of languages owned by a company. Look what happened to Visual Basic 6.0.

Learning certain languages can change the way you think about programming and that's useful no matter what language you focus on. Even if you want to become a C++ master (maybe especially if you want to become a C++ master), you should also spend some time learning a dynamic language (Python?), a functional language (OCaml? Scala?), and maybe even a logic language. I've been spending time lately working with SPARK/Ada, a language designed for the construction of ultra-reliable software. It's definitely changed the way I think about programming... and that's a good thing. Of course learning other languages takes time away from C++ and if you want to really master C++ a lot of time studying it is required. One must balance one's time. And yes, I agree with what others are saying: C++ is not going anywhere anytime soon. It is very much worth getting to know.
