I doubt. The committee is probably full of Sun developers.

Yes. You definitely should do that. Who told you C++ is just a C with
injection and 16 valves? It _is_ a different language that inherited a plenty
(together with a plenty of crap) from C. But the phylosophy around it is very
different.  It's better learnt from scratch. not knowing C at all. Or you
just import misleading stuff.
