To write fast, native, platform-independent code?

Learning C++ helps you understand how languages work, and how memory is managed.

I wouldn't say calling new and delete is really a whole lot in terms of memory management. People should learn multiple languages simply to see different ways of doing things. Forcing yourself to learn something new can make you a better programmer.

I was aiming more towards pointers and that sort of stuff... but yes, I entirely agree with you.

Yeah, I just don't like calling it memory management when you're not really managing anything. Memory pools, allocation strategies, etc. is what I consider memory management. Obviously whatever people call it, they'll learn from doing it.
