C vs. C++

C++ is
- more type safe
- safer memory management (unique_ptr, smart_ptr, weak_ptr)
- classes with destructors (RAII is nice)
- generic containers in standard library (no need to implement dynamic array for every other project)

C is
- cleaner
- simpler and easier to learn


C is nice for beginners, but real programmers use C++.

He wanted it to replace C, not just to be a new/better language. If he had less shame and more ENTERPRISE, he would've called it "C 2.0" or maybe just "C."
