The real question to me is : why in the world are y'all still using C? C++ is just as fast if you don't jump the shark.

- barnaby 16y agoI would ask the opposite question. Why are y'all still using C++? C _is_ faster from what I understand, and Java is basically a better, safer replacement for C++ (and equally as fast on big enough applications). Steve Yegge has some great thoughts about how C++ should die, in favor of Java (not that he likes Java either, though he loves the JVM).
