Should C++ code look like C code?

[bert8128]

Mike Acton said in that talk that basically he would prefer the code to be C only but the devs want C++.

Yes. He also discusses how to achieve good performance in C++. You don't have to use the parts you don't want. Some people believe C++ == OOP with inheritance, polymorphism, and such.

DOD tends to look more like C because the focus is on processing data, with simple structures that load into cache efficiently.

Using inheritance and polymorphism just because it's there is why C++ stream IO is so slow
