Note to students and others who come across this page, if C++ works
for you, feel free to use it. It has its place.
I just personally do not like C++.
I find it hard to follow and worse to maintain. You probably
don't want to know my opinions on Java or perl either.
For various reasons too numerous to discuss here, I hate C++ and
everything it stands for.
Here's a postscript image you can print out and display if you feel
similarly (it's the international no symbol indicating c++ is not
appreciated):

"C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C."
