Neither C++ nor Java were "attempts to improve C".

It's true that C++ is almost a superset of C, but most C programming idioms would be discouraged in C++.

As for Java - it's a whole different kettle of fish. Intended to run on a virtual machine with opaque high-level abstractions usable by your program; nothing like C.

(I don't know ObjectiveC enough to comment.)
