C++ compilers and the standard template library are like helicopter parents; it's their way or the highway. C merely exposes the functionality of a hardware platform in a non-judgemental way. libc (C's standard library) provides minimally wrapped access to OS kernel calls, as well as providing a set of functions which address common problems. libc does not address graphics - you must use some other library for that.
I can't appreciate C++ because it takes me 5X as long to write the same application in C++ as it does in C.

I'd like to focus only on C but I get skeptical about what my future would be as a programmer!
