C++ is by no means a perfect language and it has got quite a few things wrong (in this respect it fits in well with almost any other language), but it is a HUGE step up from C.

C++ advantage is mostly that it has become a successful commercial version of C. But it is in use by lots of people, so it won't go away. @Steve, I have tried to make a separate case for C and C++.

I can things in Python that would take forever to do in C. I believe *that* is what matters.
