I agree that some components of C++ are bad, but I still think C++ is the best langauge out right now, at least for programming games. C is very similar to C++, but since I learned C++ right off the bat, I have no experience in it, but I do know some things. C doesnt have templates, which can be really time-saving. DirectX is for C++, not C, so if you want to have a decent windows game, learn C++. Oh yea, Windows uses C++ too (you can do it in C, but you might as well shoot yourself). C++ has classes. I don't see whats so hard about mixing OOP with procedural programming - its like that so you can do it how you want to. Pretty much everything commercial uses C++, so learn to like it if you every want a job. C++ is just as fast as C, and sometimes faster
BTW, Can you please further explain what you mean by "ambigous syntax problems", LooseCaboose?
