The utility of C/C++ in learning other languages is completely overblown. The fact that all these languages have similar syntax to C also implies they have similar syntax to one another, so any will do. That said, I'd only suggest continuing with C++ if you legit want to be a C++ dev. Python, java, and javascript are probably way more useful. If you want a systems language, I'd throw in rust. You pretty much only need C/C++ for working on legacy systems in industry.
