Ugh I think the gap between c and c++ is wider than between java and Javascript, but admittedly I haven't done much of the latter two
You can take the contents of a C file, put it into a C++ file and there's an 80% chance it will work without modification, and 15% of the incompatibility will be just sticking a type on your pointer instead of using void pointers (untyped pointers), or in newer code switching the restrict keyword for one of C++'s newer pointers.
You can't do that between JS and Java.
