There are traps for careless programmers, but generally the FUD
on C++ on Palm OS is just that, FUD.
I'd strongly recommend C++ for medium size through very large projects.
You should experience faster, smaller, more maintainable code.
Just understand what C++ features create bloat, and strategize
accordingly (such as exceptions, virtual functions, PC-bases classes)
