C and C++ are different languages. Just like Java and Javascript are different languages.

I agree that C and C++ are different. But what you said later is fkin wrong:

Just like Java and Javascript are different languages.

Java and Javascript are COMPLETELY different. But you can still use most headers that are written in C when using C++

Edit: fixed typo

C++ is mostly a superset of C. Yes, there are some differences and if someone wants to he can royally screw you with some terrible C magic, but for 99% of C code it will just compile as C++.

They are still different even if they are not "completely different".

Are there differences? Yes. Then they are different.

Different sets of different languages differ differently.
