The most impressive aspect of C++, as reported by a group of programmers
(most of them Fortran & C users) here who were forced to learn & use it for a
task last year, was inheritance.  With careful attention to design, they 
were able to re-use a lot of their own code, & re-design it quickly when 
needed.
