C++ is a very large unwieldly language - it has too many constructs and too much syntax. Experience has chown that smaller simpler languages are easier to learn and apply than larger ones. This is why C is still the language of choice for a lot of systems coding (among other reasons). While purists will no doubt damn me to hell, I know a lot of people would put C++ at the bottom of their list of OOP coding languages of choice. -- Aj. Sys.
