Fruit is written in C++, but it is very much a C program (not a single class in it). Fabien is just using C++ as "a better C" as Stroustrup likes to say. And if he chooses to use classes at some point, he is guaranteed to have a good start at it, because a C++ program will not contain C++ keywords like new, delete, class, etc. Interestingly, he does not even use new and delete operators. Shredder is compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ and has (at least some) C++ in it because it uses the Nalimov Tablebase files.
