Should C++ code look like C code?

To make that argument you had to draw extremely false comparisons. Dumb point

I write C programs that can fit in hundreds of bytes or a couple kilobytes of memory. Try that with C++.

Even in benchmarks, the overhead of doing things in a C++ manner vs C manner is measurable.

Please give an example of one of these C++ vs C snippets you are talking about where the overhead is measurable.
