There's quite a bit of C++ to understand.
The answer to your question depends, really, on what you want to do.
Are you going to be working mostly with text processing? Then I would suggest you investigate another language.
Are you going to be working with a DB heavily? Then I would suggest you move to another language.
Not that you CANT do either of those two thing in C++, just that other languages are geared toward thsoe things.
I believe that C/C++ is a good starting point if you are just getting started. Certainly not the easiest to pick up, but it better prepares you for learning other languages.
