Re: C v C++

Code bloat seems to me to be (at least in part) a consequence of Object
Oriented Design. I recall hearing someone at a TriAda conference years ago
describing OOD as: "If you want a banana, you have to take the whole
gorilla." You may gain something with OOD, but you sacrifice something for
it as well. I'd see this as a problem for both Ada95 and C++ when you use
the OO model so I would be reluctant to pick on C++ for it.
