You've just contradicted yourself with this last line.  If in fact,
you're learning more, how are you going to learn it in a shorter time? 
You also noted that it's 'more difficult' which I would agree with and
will also extend the learning curve.

I didn't say development curve, I said learning curve.  I still maintain
C++ has a longer/steeper learning curve than C.
