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.
