C cannot do RAII, nor can it do internal DSL (via symbol in expression definitions). And neither C nor C++ can do functional programming due to the lack of tail call optimization. Anyone reverting to C for new applications is either working on an embedded system with very, very limited resources, or they are revisionists ;-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
