After using C++ all semester for two classes (OOP with C++, and Data Structures), I'm starting to like C++ more than C. Of course it's no Haskell or SICP, but I'm starting to wonder why I'd ever want to write in C again. I've even started re-writing a small C app I wrote to C++; although the compiled size is larger (about 44 KiB instead of 29 KiB,) the source will likely be about half the size. Best of all, because of the STL containers, I don't need to write any explicit new/delete, so my program is easier to keep leak-free.
tl;dr const references make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Sepples feels like an horrible corruption of C. It takes a simple straightforward language and stuffs it full of features that when used combined end up looking like a load of convoluted shit. OCaml is far superior.

ANSI Common LISP feels like a horibble corruption of C. It takes a simple straightforward language and stuffs it full of features that, when used combined, end up looking like a load of convoluted shit. Scheme is far superior.
