- Hi Jonathan !
-
- My opinion:
- If your average team of programmers is already familiar with C, then
- switch to C++. Sure, C++ has some new/strange features, but it should
- be no real problem for a C programmer to learn it.
- If your team has to learn C *and* C++, it might be very difficult for
- them. I've seen this problem two years ago in the team I worked with.
- They all were rather average programmers and nobody had any C knowledge.
- (mostly PL/1 programmers). It took them some months to really learn C and
- C++, and I think it took them about one year to fully understand C++.
- Remark: they didn't have time to learn C/C++ all the day. Say they used
- C++ for 3 hours a day.
