I don't consider C++ worse - it's pretty standard now.
OSU (wwww.orst.edu i believe) tried Java for awhile, and no one could
get jobs because of lack of C++ skills.
I'm sure with a little bit of learning the rules, I'll be able to write
C code.
Still, would be nice to see a C++ compiler for the venerable c64!!!

I believe that nowadays our university is even worse, using Java in some
courses (and still using C++ in the Nachos-based operating systems
course). If you want to write really portable code, C is probably the
best choice. Although C++ was standardized in the summer of 1998
(ISO/IEC 14882:1998), the C++ compilers from Sun and HP did not support
many of the standard features until the year 2002. On the other hand,
practically every system supports K&R C or ISO/IEC 9899:1989 ("ANSI C").
There are nice C resources at http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/ and
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/cclass.html.
