| C++ is far better than C in very many ways. It's also far worse than C in very many other ways. Given a choice between the two, I'd still choose C++ every day just for RAII. There's only so much that we can blame programmers for memory leaks, use-after-free, buffer overflows, and other things that are still common in new C code. At some point, it is the language itself that is unsuitable and insufficient. |

| C++ explored a lot of ideas that some modern languages borrowed. C++ just had to haul along all the cruft it inherited and built up. |

| No, C is not fine. It is a really bad language that I unfortunately have to code professionally. |
