it might be worth noting that you can write object oriented C.  many
people do that rather than use C++, because of the design flaws they see
in it, and the massive investment required to learn the language and its
idioms.

personally i find it hard to be expressive with C or C++; it takes too
long to hack up an idea.  with Perl i can get music playing in a fraction
of the time.  it's such a rich language that you can use a subset of it
that suits how you want to work.

      open(F,'>/dev/audio');$m='ub .  . quicksort techo .  . sl';
      while(){@d=sort{push@o,$a,$b;$a<=>$b}map{512-rand(1023)}0..
      1023;for(0..3){map{print F pack'C',$_;$m=~s{^(.)(.*)}{$2$1}
      ;printf"\e[%d;%dH$1",13.5-25*($_/1024),++$f%80+1}@o}}# yaxu
