Penetration Testing: Programming skills for Pen Testers

["johnny Mnemonic" <security4thefainthearted () hotmail com>]

ok we all know that in addition to good network, host and application 
security skills, programming in C is a pre-requisite for a decent pen tester 
or at least one who wants to write their own security tools or simply audit 
the open source code they use. My question is, despite their similarities 
should a pen tester be concentrating on C or C++ ? That's it!
Thanks.
