Everything that C is, C++ is as well. The single simple feature that I don't have to declare all my variables in the beginning of the method but where it's actually used is enough to kick the ass of C to the curb. Then there's the rest of the features including the little thing known as OO...

To object against C++ with the argument that incompetent coders can do bad things... well, it's nonsense. Incompetent coders can do bad things in ANY language. For competentt coders thugh, C++ means increased productivity and resusability, and in the end, that's what counts.

Linus is full of BS. To say that STL and Boost is total crap, that he likes to piss off C++ coders, and that he actually seems unable to see the advantages of C++ to C.. only shows his own ignorance, and that he has a huge chip on his shoulder. I'm very disappointed.
