C++ is quickly becoming a more popular programming language than C. For instance, how many of the popular compilers out there are supporting only ANSI C? OOP is a superior *style* of programming than traditional C, and is easier to debug, test, and maintain. This could save a beginner a considerable amount of time, and frustration. So wouldn't it just be easier to learn one language, and one concept, then be set for life?
