Well C and C++, the father(s) of almost every programming language isn't quite true. Consider Jean Sammet's cataloging of languages, and Fortran (Originally FORTRAN), COBOL, Lisp, FORTH. All of these are real-world languages of which C bears no ancestry. Rather the other way around. Oh, and don't forget about BLISS.
