I was expecting that. C has held back software development more than

If you do it right, 'C' can be object oriented... It might not have
all the features of C++, but one could argue that quite a few of the
C++ features are either not needed or rarely used... I like a lot of
the features in C++, but more often than not, I end up writing
straight 'C' since at least one of the machines upon which my system
is executing does not have a C++ compiler...


Object-oriented is passe now. Try to keep up! :-)
