Double negatives aside, I find C++ troublesome too.  Maybe it was the dose
of Pascal in my early training, but I started to choke when the instructor
said that C++ was a strongly-typed language.  Maybe in comparison to Pascal
it is.  But I found it very odd how C++ will automatically convert the
types of variables passed in subroutines instead of kicking out a warning
or error.  This can lead to some hard to find bugs.  So, if I want the
flexibility of C, I'll use C.  If I want object oriented features, I'll use
Java.
