I wasn't saying that C++ had no use. I'm saying that its domain is narrower that what's commonly believed.

It is false that C "will make everything MUCH harder". How hard something is to implement in a particular language depends on the problem and the people doing the implementation. C is only perceived to be much harder because people have become overly-dependent on language features (aka "syntactic sugar") and cannot reason about problems in terms that do not require those features.

I'm not talking about using assembly here. It is not a matter of an unstructured language vs. a structured one. I'm talking about features. This is particularly relevant because in many places where C++ is used, the coding standards prohibit the use of more than a limited subset of the language, effectively transforming it into "C with classes".

I don't think that C "will make everything MUCH harder," but with C you'll end up spending a lot of time just getting the groundwork in place before you even start to work on the problem at hand.
