Well, C++ is a better language than C in many ways. So, if he needs to learn
one of them, why does it have to be C?

Another reason some people choose C++ over Python for some tasks is that
they feel that larger programs benefit from strong, static type checking.
I like both ways, but depending on the task, one or the other is better.

And then there's always the "my boss told me" reason, which seems to apply
to the OP.
