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.

How do you tell when you've run out of memory? (Note that these are mutable strings.)
I assumed you'd only append stuff with strcat() or whatever, which would do the checking for you. And you'd get automatic logarithmic reallocation with a special realloc() function.
