Re: C or C++ for FOSS/linux?

Besides, I don't really like Qt - not because it's bloated, for which
there are arguments, agreed, but because it reinvents the wheel for
basic types like strings (QString instead of STL-strings, for
instance). It does not make it faster as well.

QT is older than STL. By the time, Trolltech started QT there was no STL
stuff in the C++ standard, so Trolltech integrated their own classes
instead of relying on non-standard libraries...
And once classes made into a library, it's difficult to get them out
again without breaking with most of the legacy code out there...

After all, programming open source should be fun, right?

Definitely! That's, why I use python most of the time ;)
