Use the right tool for the purpose. You bet for rewriting half the C++ runtime in C instead of not-using the bloated part of C++. Pretty. If you're going to program in a OO way, use an oo language. And I get tired of people saying C++ is bloat. My pupils at 5th course of Computer Science still think C++ is bloat. They have no idea on compilers. And they bless Ada. A 5th level virtual function still has only a one-level indirection overhead when called. Low level code is just as efficient as C. If a C++ program is bloated it is the programmers matter, not the language.

kidding ???? Perhaps GTK+, but Xt...
