In my copy of TC++PL, all code is in an italicized non-proportional serif
font. WTF!? That turned me off from C++ from the start, and I've not liked
it ever since. I can do C++, but I'd rather be doing it in C.

OO is a programming *style*. I can do any OO technique in C, including
polymorphism and even templates if need be, without need for run-type type
checking. And when I want, I can easily visualize the assembly language
instructions that are being generated for this or that. C is fscking
beautiful.
