C++ is complex and nobody knows happens under the hood. This is why
site that shows the compiler output are so useful nowadays for C++
community.
C is not perfect and C++ is not so bad. Personally I wish I could
select some features from both and add some extra ones.
This is why I created my own C front end.
The complexity in a programming problem is a constant. You can solve
it in the C way with a large number of simple steps, which introduces
extra complexity in making sure they all work together. You can solve
it with fewer step in a higher level language, which introduces extra
complexity to the language. The overall complexity remains constant.
Mother Goose comes to comp.lang.c.
