My personal goal in life right now is to stay as far away from C++ as I can get. so what C compiler are you using ? Gcc, mostly. I don't mind if it's capable of compiling C++, as long as I can choose not to write any. That's getting harder and harder though. Recent versions of GCC appear to be implementing C98 by default -- at least I didn't get complaints about declarations placed after non-declarations in the same block from any of the buildbot hosts...
I don't know whether you meant "C++98" or "C99" in the above, but the
default is (mostly) C99, now. If you like, you can still tell it to
compile in C89 mode, with --std=c89.
C99 contains some of the superficial C++ syntax changes such as //
comments and declarations after non-declarations which have long been
implemented as non-standard extensions, anyhow, but it's still
nothing like C++.
As for the question of whether to switch to C++ in 3.0, I'd say
probably not, as it's much harder to interface with C++ from other
languages than to C.
