C++ is really more than just another version of C.  There is an effort by
ANSI to standardize it (X3J16).  With the formalization of the standard,
it will be as much a unique language as Fortran or Pascal which is much
more than can be said about many of the other "languages" that are listed.
I'm sure there are currently far more lines of code in the world written 
in C++ than in WSL.
