At least for the brain-dead C++ push. The language is unfortunately not going away with all the millions of crappy legacy code out there, but please let the kids move on with the times.
90% of C++ knowledge is language specific UB crap that has nothing to do with software development anyway. Pushing the language in 2025 makes you look like a Luddite. Any combination C/Rust + Python/C# + OCaml/Haskell ought to teach you a bit of everything, without having to learn the difference between auto and decltype(auto), a billion initialisation options, a billion value-types, and whatever crap is going to generate 100 lines of undecipherable template errors
