No, it's like saying that professional people understand the need to learn what their tools of the trade do beyond random stackoverflow search on how to print text to stdout.

It seems you have an irrational dislike of C. That's perfectly ok. No need to come up with excuses though.

It doesn't seem, I do.

Ever since I got my hands on Turbo C++ 1.0, back in 1993, I see no reason why one should downgrade ourselves to C.

At least C++ give us the tools to be a bit more secure, even if tainted with C's copy-paste compatibility.

You will find posts from me on Usenet, stading on C++ frontline of C vs C++ flamewars.

No one is making excuses, it should be nuked, unfortunely it will outlive all of us.
