I assume you mean for applications? This seems to be the consensus. I don't know why people still use C for large applications, like GNOME. C++ would be a much better choice. But for system level programming, C is still best. If C++ was used, a lot of the C++ features would have to be avoided. This defeats the purpose of using C++ in the first place. I don't see how it could be possible to write an efficient operating system using all of the features of C++. >C++ from what I've seen (and experienced today) is harder to compile. What do you mean? You're not compiling C++ by hand, are you? ;-) --jc -- Jimen Ching (WH6BRR) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
