If you're looking for object oriented, don't look at C. Sure, you can do OO in C, but it's an incredible kludge. Why do you say C++ sucks? We just had this same discussion at lunch here and came to the conclusion that pretty much every language out there has its strengths and weaknesses and that instead of focusing on a particular language you should look at what you need to get done and use the best tool for the job. Sometimes that's C++, sometimes it's C, or even Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc... C++ no more sucks than Java does (and I personally think it sucks a *lot* less). It's just what you know and are used to.
