C++ is a mess from the backwards compatibility and portability point of view. Just try shipping a binary C++ library on Linux.

Funnily enough, the things that everyone complains about are all inherited from C...
As if C was imune from such ABI mess called glibc.
Wat? Wat? C++ always has been much easy to use in Linux compared to Windows.

Modern C also lack portability due to UBOs and compiler optimizations, but still good enough so is C++.
