Well, its not too dificult to start describing how C++ has separated
from C into pretty much a very different language.

C++ templates is a pretty good starting point.
But event exceptions, and the OO design options in C++ make writting an
'elegant' program in C++, very different from writting one in C.

oh, and although C++ is akin to C in the 'machine code must be as lean
as posible. 0 overhead' department, there is a limit to how slim you can
make the code when the compiler has to take as many more options into
account in C++ as oposed to C. If i'm not mistaken, it was just the
other day a compiler (from the people at digital mars i think) managed
to implement all the features in the 98 ISO C++ standard.
