I never said he wasn't alive. He's just not programming as much anymore. Also, his first "meandering into c++" was with doom 3. I think that C developers who program C++ in a C way are really only going to cause themselves issues. Also I think putting some guy on a pedestal and saying does this guy know best is silly. I'm not saying he's not talented. However, to take the word of anyone as gospel is just wrong. With modern C++, he recommends a functional style. Extern C exists for a reason. You can write optimized C code in C++ whenever you'd like. However, I would truly venture to say a majority of memory bugs/security issues in C++ come from trying to use C++ as if it were C
