When it comes to deciding between C and C++, C++ beats C in one aspect: templates. For example, quick sort in C++ performs a lot better than C because templates enable lots of compiler optimizations. (Rest of the C++ features are just garbage for my purposes.) I just hope next C revision adds some form of template support into the language.
