Hi All,

I am starting to learn C and am wondering if C++ may be a better
choice? The purpose is to do free software development and eventually

I prefer C to C++. I suggest you first learn C. You can still learn C++
afterwards.

If you learn C++ as your first language, it could take years to
undo the brain damage...
