whats wrong with c++?

it has namespaces, better standard libraries, a plethora of modern conveniences, and all of c's functionality.

if you don't like objects don't use them

if you want to feel like a programming badass and do everything low level then learn assembly

Never mind -- I'm going to infer from the rest of your post that you're talking about reflection.  I'm not the guy you were arguing with, and I agree that this would be a really nasty thing to do in C++.

However, the hard-core C++ faithfuls would argue that this is something no C++ programmer would ever want.  The whole idea of C and C++ is to carry around as little baggage as possible, and what you're asking for is to essentially turn C++ into C#.
