I know he knows C++ targets it, but I get the impression he thinks that the result of targeting C is a language like C++. That's not the case. Good languages have also been compiled to C.
I know it's just an off-hand little dig at C++, & I'm sure you know more than enough about C++ to be confident making such a dig, but damn the relentless C++ bashing gets really old to those of us who are happily productive with it.
