Some call it C+-. I've heard that everything is public (you use structs),
there is no constructors or destructors, no operator overloading and
probably there is a lot else missing. I think it is a pity they don't
make a real C++ since their programming environment is excellent - great
debugger, nice editors etc, etc, etc. And a quite extensive "class"
library. I'm working with C++ at work, and I don't want to learn yet
another language. If Symantec made Think C 5.0 == C++ I would start doing
some real programming at home...
