Questions for all board members

We'll keep it simple, /prog/. I have two questions for the members of this board:

1) What do you do for a living (or what do you do in college if that applies to you instead)

2) Do you like what you do? Why?

It's funny how you forgot your own question. You asked why learning C++ will not teach you to code in C, and I responded with an analogy. C = legwork. C++ = messy hacks to avoid it (so you obviously won't learn it).

But I will answer your new question as well. C is better because it's a simple language that does its job. Portable assembler. C++ is worse because it's a poorly defined language, a solution looking for a problem, and none of the things it adds to C are well designed or implemented. On top of that, it completely ignores easy improvements that could have been made (multiple return values and keyword arguments are big ones). And no GC? WTF?
