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

A compiled executable from C++ has absolutely no remnants of the original source -- no variable names, nothing
Is that something you just read about and are parroting now? Look at anything compiled with MSVC defaults for example and you'll see tons of encoded class and method names.
