C and C++ are for retards.

and the speed you gain by using them doesn't matter shit these days unless you're making the latest and greatest 3D game.

Fucking manual memory management. Fuck in the ass.

You realize that you don't have to do your own memory management in C++, right?  Its one of the most customizable languages out there.  By default, it has no memory management - but that doesn't mean you cant use a library that offers it.  Go read about smart pointers and educate yourself a bit.

Flexability, native output and nearly unparalleled target platforms are why C/C++ exist.  Speed is just a nice benefit of having everyone working with it.
