I already have enough "programming cachet" with C++.

If you know C++, you know C (ignore dark corners and changes in later C standards). C++ is first and foremost a "better C" and only later everything else.

I can also add Object Pascal, Modula-2, Ada and plenty of others to the list, I just felt lazy and typed only C++.
