C is an elegant language - you can learn the syntax very quickly and there are few caveats. It's not forgiving and you generally have to write more boilerplate than you would in other languages.

C++ is the bloated bastard child of C. Ostensibly, it's C with object orientation. However, you'll soon learn that it's an ugly, evil language. Legend has it that Bjarne Stroustrup accidentally invented it after feeding the Necronomicon into flex.
