After getting use to the STL containers... I could never go back to pure C. I use C++ daily and love it. Nothing against C (if that's what you like) it's a great little language.

Why is it that C programmers bitch about C++, but C++ programmers don't bitch about C?




Because we're having too much fun writing cool things in C++ to bother to write rants.


Because you're too busy waiting for all that C++ code to compile before you can be too busy debugging it ..

FtFT! :)


C is still the foundation of C++. So programming in C++ made me respect C. And many great libraries are C (OpenGL, SQLite, zlib, etc.).


Programming in C++ made me realize how naive C is, in both good and bad.
