Can we all please stop saying C/C++ and stop implying that C and C++
are similar? C is a wonderful hardware-independent assembly language
capable of doing anything allowed by the OS. Its only downside is that
without extreme carefulness, the compiled C program will have bugs that
could be catastrophically dangerous.

C++ is a horribly botched attempt to bolt Object Orientation onto C, to
make C something it was never intended to be.
