Unless I am very off. C++ is a natural choice when porting

As far as I know, most universities teach some sort of OO programming
language like JAVA or C# to help students understand OO programming.
I understand that C++ is less popular but JAVA/C# would be the wrong
choice for this.
I think the better question about all of this is:
What is the problem we are trying to solve?
Providing solutions that are looking for problems doesn't help us.

fixing something that isn't broken is never a good idea. I see no
advantage switching to c++. Joshua is correct, what are you trying to
do that would require c++? If its OO design, well you don't need an OO
language for that.
C isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Look at its history, it has
survived its 'replacements' over and over again. The most popular
kernels, shells and applications are all still written in C (new and
old). Where are the warning signs that it is dwindling?
