I'm not trying to convince anyone that C is better than C++. Switching to C is more to gain a greater perspective on programming languages and the many features more modern languages offer.

If you've got thoughts about C, C++ or even other languages you reckon might be better than C I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

The Mike Acton clip was from this excellent presentation on data-oriented design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc
