Same here -- and it's not just that it grows, but that "common practice" both varies amongst programmers and evolves over time. C++ is an awfully deep language. Also, I'm increasingly unconvinced that it's wise for someone who intends to end up writing idiomatic C++ to be too comfortable in C first -- if you're going to learn C thoroughly, aim to come out the other end as a C programmer -- but that's probably a point one could argue either way on (including about whether an "idiomatic C++" programmer is a good thing to be in the first place). I have a suspicion that the language with the currently greatest intersection of "widely used" and "satisfying to develop" may be C#, but that perhaps isn't a very practical choice in this particular field.

Not a bad idea. Javascript is a better language than its early uses (for gross hacks in web pages) might have suggested.
