Maybe someone familiar with both could chime in on which one should be looked at more and potentially help more down the line C or C++?
C++ is more marketable, and it's sort of a superset of C, anyway, so if you learn C++, you'll understand C to an extent. Ideally, you'd learn both, but you would only use C in an embedded micro-controller type of environment.
C (and C++) are still used in game development as well. I've developed a lot of online games and infrastructure, and most of the time the server-side code is in C while the client code is in C++. But I agree, if you learn C++ you'll learn C as well, but unless you know the differences between them, you won't be able to write standalone C applications.
I'm old school, so I learned C before C++ and tend to default to C when I'm writing something quick and dirty... at least when a scripting language won't do what I want.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
