C and C++ are the best programming language

Ok, C gives enough rope to hang yourself... while C++ gives you enough rope to shot in your foot.

However think about it:
* Plenty of functionalities, libraries and stuff;
* Binary compatibility (through C) with pascal and fortran;
* Real threading thanks to pthread;
* High level abstraction based on closures;
* Function nesting;
* High performance garbage collector (#include <gcoll.h>)

Who needs another language?

OK seriously, how is C++ so different from C? I get that it is "C with classes," but I have no idea how it *otherwise* differs.

/writes in C exclusively

/Took one look at Java and decided classes were for pussies.

/Cries because using C for Embedded is becoming Old Hat (At least around here)
