[clug] Object-Oriented C?

[Michael Cohen]

Drew,
  C++ adds a lot of bloat and library dependancies which you dont need. Also I dont think c++ can do 
introspection and other advanced features out of the box (of course c++ is just a more complex C so you 
can still do all the macros etc in that).

This implemtation of classes is tied with talloc for memory managemnet which makes programming really nice.

Michael.
