Is there any reasons to learn C++ in this modren age?

mean to say now a higher languages are in use like VB , C Sharp etc where c++ stands

Is there any reasons to learn C++ in this modren age?
Of course the main reason is to modify existing code due some change requirements or errors.





But you can list many secundary reasons:





- Many modern languages are based on C/C++ syntax, so if you learn C++, you are 1 step closer to learn another language.


- C++ is widely adopted in many enterprises.


- Due the high performace of C++, it's widely used in videogames, device controlers, interfaces and core components.


- Could be an adventage if you try to re-write an application from C++ to any other language.


- Learning C++ gives you the discipline to take care of a lot of things, like pointers.... specially pointers.


- Due C++ is a lower level language than others, learning C++ gives a wider idea of what most be done to perform a task, that making you to take more care of using some programming technics.





Of course, if you are not interested at all on any of this, is not the end of the world, as you stated, in the modern ages there are many languages that are taking the old C++ appart.
Reply:c++ is like parent for object oriented programming approach ......





object oriented programming always exist ...and so c++
Reply:And if you need to modify a c++ program in this modern age?


I have programmed for over 20 years. Some things can still be done faster and in less time with machine language. The problem from day two of computer programming has been trying to correct or modify what someone else wrote on day one.
Reply:What do you think is the (by far) most popular programming languages in the following companies:


Microsoft, Oracle, IBM?
Reply:You learn C++ (and C) to understand what C# and VB.Net are REALLY doing under the hood.
