He needs to use C and/or C++ for compatibility and requires low response time according to the first post. C is a very fast language.

Ultimately it depends on what the application will be used for. C++ allows for object oriented design, and in that model of thinking your application will be based on what classes to make as well as any interfaces to implement (essentially, modeling the world with objects). In C you don't have that type of flexibility although you are able to define your own data types with typedef and use structs.
