"I guess "geniuses" are supposed to figure it out on their own." Well, the jump from Java to C++ is pretty small. Bigger jump to C because the programming paradigm is different. Languages come and they go. When I started programming, FORTRAN and COBOL were big. And ratfor was pretty new. Then Pascal and Ada were supposed to be the future. But, C did an end run around them both, birthing C++ in the process to complete the job. Things have thankfully stagnated, Java, Ruby, python, etc. are C++ knockoffs, often with some Perl regex stuff rolled in. So, if you are going to write code, you have to be nimble.
