I agree. If you are going to learn one language, learn C++. The thing about C++ is you have to do pretty much everything manually (of course there are libraries you can import if you want). Pointers, manual memory allocation... C++ is the best way (next to assembly) to learn to program. If you know it, you can learn any other language in a day.
