Dear Sylvain,

you aren't exactly a beacon of sunshine either. You like to make
normative claims all over the place, but when asked to defend them, you
only have names to call people. Maybe C++ is genuinely as horrible as
you say. I have seen evidence of that. But most of it boils down to "if
you use it wrong, it turns into spagghetti code in a pretty dress".
Well, C's the same way, sans pretty dress.

That first sentence of David's answer is merely the logical conclusion
of thinking your restrictions to the end.

Nothing personal,
Markus
