The only problems I can see caused by sticking solely to C are the
following:
1)C memory management sucks big slimy moose crap,
2)no optimized rb_tree (etc) STL functions,
3)printf--(yuck--I don't think we use this much anyway though),
4)scanf--ditto,
5)globals--need I say more? (result of lack of classes--though we could do
some weird struct stuff to supplant this if we wanted to........),
6)lack of instances (due to lack of classes)--could be a problem handling
some devices.
There may be more, but I think that my point is obvious. Whether you agree
with me or not--well that is another matter.....
