Having recently done some C development after a few years of exclusively C++, no, no thank you.

I'll take my RAII and destructors, thank you very much.

Hence why already back in 1993, when faced with the option of Turbo C 2.0 vs Turbo C++ 1.0, I could not understand why bother with C at all, still don't.

Those language creators and their names, "C","C++", "Objective-C","HolyC", "C#". I almost thought "C." was a new language.

C doesn't have destructors or move semantics.
