  After 10 years of coding in C, I started in C++. The code bloat

  was in my future so I kept at it. Until I read an article in Linux
  Magazine back around 2000 that showed me how to do OOP in C.

  I went back to coding in C, using OOP approach.

  Since I was the sole programmer for the code bases I was working
  on, I think I made the right decision.

  C++ works better for teams IMHO. And for runtime and code bloat,
  we all know about the speed and data gain since 2000.

  Will Moore's Law kill C?
