Fair enough. Thank you. In my case - C (as a language) had a smaller footprint, and if the targets were limited, it was easier to learn, to lint and to code-in

Fair enough. Thank you. In my case - C (as a language) had a smaller footprint, and if the targets were limited, it was easier to learn, to lint and to code-inspect. Admittedly, this was mostly before C++14. I guess this might be a case of "once bitten, twice shy". Thank you.
