I don't understand what people are trying to categorize when they say C/C++. They're incredibly different languages. It's hard to find similarities between C and modern C++ (C++2x flavor). If we put C and C++ under the same umbrella, why not put Java there too? I just think when you say C/C++ you need to clarify what exactly do you mean by that.

C/C++ => C and C++, simple plain English grammar simplification.
Used all over the place in ISO C++ papers, official documentation from all compiler vendors, long gone famous magazines like 'The C/C++ Users Journal', reference books well respected in the C++ community,....
Yet a couple of people still insist into making a point out of it, but don't start one when Java/C, Java/C++, C#/C++, Python/C,..., gets written somewhere.
