C++ can do most of what C can do and more, and it's one of the more versatile languages (whereas Java uses a similar OOP model to C++, but it makes OOP the ONLY way to do things). And most of the benefits of C can be achieved by using C-style code in C++ anyways. Pure C makes sense for writing OSes and programming embedded system, but for making normal applications C++ seems much more suitable.

>>8 that's the problem here: C++ is good when it's used as a more convenient way of writing C (although the fact that struct isn't acutally a struct is pissing me off) or if you want simple OOP. more complex OOP ends up looking like crap and if you try to use generic programming, template syntax will make you cry.

>>9 I don't write C++ because I like looking at C++ template syntax. I write C++ because I like thinking about generic semantics.

>>10 then you should learn a few other languages as there are better ways of doing generic programming than C++ templates

To have a real type system instead of the useless crap designed by uneducated inbreds that these languages have?

Why do people need anything more than assembly and VHDL?

>>8 Nowadays you can program embedded systems in modern C++ (i.e. C++11 and later) with type and memory safety guarantees that are next to impossible to achieve in C without sacrificing speed.
