In any decent CS school they actually teach you low-level stuff. Transitioning from Java to C++ for such a person is trivial.

Low level stuff, I happily code off the top of my head in pure PIC and AVR assemblies, is not same as C++ low level stuff.

(IMO) C++ is quickly becoming that middle ground language that is destined to be a niche language in a decade. It's not low level enough and not high level enough to give people dealing with assembly code or business logic code a reason to switch.

Certainly not trivial if all you have is school Java experience.
