Not sure why C++ is relevant to C at all, since C++ does pretty much 
everything that C does (if a bit differently) and more, which renders C 
essentially obsolete in that scenario.

Where the usage of C would be more relevant is as an implementation 
language for CPU-intensive “engine” code meant to be callable from higher-
level languages. For example, extension modules for Python. Being able to 
interoperate with such languages would be more of a benefit.
