I'm aware that you're trying to kill two birds with one stone, but IMHO, bash is closer to PHP than to C++. With that assumption, learning C++ probably will have little impact on your bash skills. However, I'm not against learning more programming languages. ESR had a good article about the 5 languages you should learn (and why) at <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#skills1" rel="nofollow">How To Become A Hacker</a>. Happy hacking. > I really need to learn more bash, it seems.
