agreed. and if you do any sort of embedded work, you must know C and C++. If history is any predictor of the future, chips will continue to get smaller and the "embedded" development world, I think, will proliforate and demand coders to know C and C++ at least for the next several years until fancy tools/compilers argue things like Java and C# code bloat doesn't matter because a 4Gig embedded system will be the norm... ahem..

There is a huge swing against C++ in the embedded world since 2007 or so. ABI issues, etc.

Not saying it disappeared, but there is now a bifurcation between C and C++ programmers.
