Nah ;)
C++ couples functions and data, C decouples them. And decoupling rocks. At
least that's what the adverts say.
Also - and I've seen this before on a different project - if you're doing
something like handling different classes of say, file readers, in C++ you have
to resort to a lot of switches:
switch FILE_TYPE:
case MOV: file = new FileMove(); break;
case AVI: file = new FileAVI(); break;
...
whereas I was suggesting in a previous thread that a lot of this could be
combined in a table which one can scan through, and obtain the polymorphism
sought. The more I look at C++, the more I get to dislike it, and I often think
"oh hell, this would all just be easier in C".
It would be nice to use a really high programming language, but we live in a C
world.

Subject: Re: [CinCVS] Some of my thoughts on scripting
C++, if done right, offers enormous programming leverage:
- more readable code
- more maintainable code
- get more done in much less lines
- easy to extend
- eliminates a lot of menial and 'yak shaving' boilerplating
- create very satisfying and intuitive abstractions
