OO programming is possible in C. Just take a look at GNOME and GTK. Perl is written in C++. That is not enough to make me want to use it ;) To be honest, C++ can be a great tool. But very few know how to use it correctly. C++ textbooks are also written by people who don't understand the language, and teach bad habits. The typical examples revealing incompetence are use of new[] instead of std::vector, and dynamic resourse allocation outside contructors. C++ compilers used to be bloatware generators; C++ compilers of 2010 are not comparable to those of 1990. C++ is also a PITA for portability. It is not sufficient for Python to only build with Microsoft Visual Studio. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
