C++ over C from a security perspective, IMO not really. C++ has some "better" ways to do some things to prevent some of the "errors" of C, but then it has its own problems. The language is bloated with functions, it is constantly changing making backwards compatibility difficult, and really.. Its just C "and then some" more crap. You cannot beautify what is born "ugly".
