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

It is widely known that c++fqa is a source of FUD.
