I was being sarcastic about the whole thing. Yes, C++ is a great language. Yes, C++ makes things easier and safer than C. Yes, the code sizer is comparable or just as efficient. However, if you want to program for a small device you will more than likely have to do it in C because a lot of times there are no C++ support. C has not died and will not die and will continue to be used for a long time to go. Ofcourse, I rather use C++ since it offers everything C has to offer and more.
