    it always was my opinion that C++ was an improvement upon straight C that never really caught on.

    i am quite happy writing straight c code.

    my first programming language was ATARI BASIC on the ATARI 400 in 1983, then after about six months of that i dabbled around with assembler on the atari for a bit..

    in 1991, i got turned on to writing C code on the PC Clone using Microsoft's QuickC for DOS and then i later learned to write C on a linux box at the shell.

    I am too old now, and you know they say that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, right? The reason that i dont try to learn new things is cuz when you get older, they brain gets soft and you dont learn new things as easily as when you are younger.

      of course you can select which ever language works best for you, but my preference is C language, and considering that I am almost older than god now... i dont really feel like learning anything new if i dont have to.

      the nice thing about learning C language is that it seems to be the language of choice for a lot of robotics/industrial types of applications.

      for example, if you wanna write code on the arduino... yup... its pretty much C language.
