In discussing various successor languages, perhaps the following naming
conventions would be in order:

    C     - The language we all know and love (or loath, as the case may be).

    C++   - The well-know C-like language with object-oriented extensions.

    D     - The natural C-like successor language.

    D++   - The natural C++-like successor language.

    C+C   - C with extensions for numerical analysis.

    C[N]  - C with extensions for vector architectures and optimization.

    (C)   - Functional C.

    !C    - A pseudo-C with a high degree of structuring and strong typing.

    &&C++ - ANSI C.
