that's pretty bias, no? All new projects don't have to be written in c++;
plenty aren't actually.

Because all new projects should be written in C++. You don't have to
use C++ classes/templates to learn/use the language, but they are quite
convenient. The C++ compiler is also significantly more strict -
meaning more problems are caught at compile-time instead of runtime.
The two languages are similar enough that learning C++ first means
easier adaptation to C whenever it is encountered. There are also more
C++ books that are better written.
