A comment on Ask HN: Should I learn C?. Parent comment
In general, very little of the program needs to be written in C to get great performance gains.
Additionally, python is vastly different from LUA. Lua is still a scripting language, ruby and python have moved past that.
For someone at age 18 or so, I'd say C is a much much better level of complexity to be tackling that C++
