May I humbly make a suggestion that you forget about C++ because
like Java, its already old hat, bypass the current hot language 
like Python and Ruby because you are behind the trend on those 
and jump straight to the future of programming languages by 
learning Ocaml [0] and/or Haskell [1].
</troll>

For prespective, I have a couple of well know FLOSS libraries 
written in C, do most of my daytime paid coding in C++ (which I 
consider an abomination), have been using Ocaml for much of my 
own stuff for about 3 years now, and I am gradually getting 
Ocaml into my workplace which is working out really well.

Cheers,
Erik
