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

That's a part of the reason why I like C. You actually have to know what the fuck your doing and be a decent programmer to develop something.  Not like java where the compiler holds your hand the whole time.
