Wow... I remember a simple, elegant language. The C, I knew had close to a 1-1 mapping to assembly. The compiler didn't overthink things. How can you muck this

Wow... I remember a simple, elegant language. The C, I knew had close to a 1-1 mapping to assembly. The compiler didn't overthink things. How can you muck this up! I thought it was C++'s job to turn something simple/elegant into an indecipherable mess!
