Re: A89: ASM Mentoring
The much larger code thing - Most C++ people want to use
cout << "Your text here"
instead of
printf("Your text here")
(Zeljko's oft repeated (and true) example of why C++ on the calc would not
be good.)
That results in much larger code. Most of the C++ extensions are that way. I
agree, you could code the exact same way in C++ as you would in C, but it
would make the extraneous C++ useless.
