Also even if there were more C++ programmers, it would still be much easier for a C++ programmer to write C than vice versa.
Here I meant *idiomatic* (STL-heavy) C++. Some features e.g. references are well known to programmers of other languages and IMO simple to learn and understand. I think using a dynamic string type is also well understood by modern programmers. Even if we just used those two things, I think it would be worth starting to use some C++.
