Nope...long list of reasons, one of
which is linking to libraries and
name mangling....

C may have a few warts, but it is
highly flexible (also dangerous),
but with disciplined programming,
it produces very fast and portable
code.

Use ANSI C and a good memory checker
(e.g., Purify)...life will be good.

Cheers.
