It seems like most (if >not all) of the drawbacks of C++ have faded away with modern compilers. Looks like it. To me C++ is C with a lot of cool stuff on top. Some things may be slower, so don't use those. You get so much for free, just take vectors or std, I mean without strings you have to write everything yourself from scratch. Kind of inefficient, and most likely these library rutines are optimized better then you and I could do. I also happen to like the object idea, seems natural once one gets used to it, certainly it makes the code is more compact and simpler to read than in C where it easily gets very bloated. >Note that I am talking about new projects, and maintaining old projects is >obviously a good reason to still use C. It takes longer to learn C++, but in my experience, very few who has invested the time goes back to C. -S.
