just use c++ dude

There are still a few reasons to use C even to this day and I'd add that the page was last updated in 2007.

Unless it's compile speed or not having an updated C++ compiler for your platform, I'm not sure what that would be.

Edit: Is it the new thing to hate on C++? Downvotes aren't arguments

It was never a new thing, afaicr.

Instead of choosing the OOP system that C++ forces on you; you can just use C and choose which OOP system to use.

I bet you can still probably build it and use it more easily with C++ than with C.
