This is a personal opinion, but C++ seems to be an exercise in
masochism.  C is basically a high level assembly language.  Neither are
all that portable.  Granted, for sheer speed, C is probably as good as
you'll get.  Speed just isn't as big a factor these days.  Who knows, if
they'd had the processing power available today back in the 80's, maybe
we'd all be using pascal p-code systems.
