Where were you when...

...you realized C is shit?

For me it was ten minutes ago, debugging an overflow involving a thrice-indirected pointer. Never again.

iostreams Are better than printf() because the format can be evaluated at compile time. If some C compilers do this for printf(), it's obviously a non-standard extension and won't apply to your own version if you were to write one. Basically C++ is better because you can do more at compile time.
