So... what can you do in C that you cannot do in C++ ??

C++ is essentially C .. plus.. you get 'selective' access to any 
and all the features of C++, should you ever decide some are 
actually useful in your projects.

C++ does not require you to think in terms of 'objects'. It just 
enables you to do so, if its helpful in your problem domain. It 
also enables you to just code in C, like you already do.

btw. Some of the worlds largest and most *successful* software 
projects are in fact... object oriented, not because its OOP, but 
because that style of programming was suitable in that particular 
problem domain.

Of course some of the worlds most successful software projects 
are written in pure C.

As much as I like D, I simply cannot say the same as above, for D 
-> yet.

I tried betterC a long...long time ago. The more I used it, the 
less I used it ;-)

Maybe things have changed.
