At the end of this post I will expose an example of a speedup of 8000x. This means that a program that at first took almost five hours to complete, ended up in two second.
A ratio of 8000:1.
Pretty impressive!
Wait! What?!

Why C++ is difficult
C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.
Source is here. Many of you will recognize these words: it's a piece of Linus Torvalds' rant aganist C++, when some developers asked him to move Git from C to C++.
