C++ Sucks

C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

Yeah, but it'd be nice if we could treat it as a bit more than just (semi-)portable assembly.

I think his complaints are completely justified, and C's one of my favorite languages. It pisses me off that everyone else has all the goodies, which means C is really only good for refactoring hotspots in higher-level code. :/
