I love my pointers! Memory management is a fun thing for me... I like working closer to the system, and some things are just better done under C. Now, I also do like the concept of OO... but I don't like C++, because it OO just doesn't seem to be implemented properly in the language, and it's built on C... it's just messy. I can't stand Java,
It's not messy, and it's not just an OO language. That's one of the worst misconceptions about C++. It's a multi-paradigm language and when you learn how to use the various paradigms it makes going to any other single-paradigm language painful.
And, doing object oriented programming in C (like certain libraries/ environments do) is like trying to build a house using only a hammer and nails. Sure, you can probably do it, but why subject yourself to that much pain an suffering? :)
