I cannot help but wonder why I would learn a whole new language before even beginning to start a new project when I already know C. Though, generally speaking, I tend to use C++ for new projects -- usually depending on what libraries I'm using, if the lib is in C I use C and if the lib is in C++ I use C++. The current thing I'm working on is intended as a Python extension module and Python is written in C so...

And, yes, I know it's trivial to interface the Python C-API with C++ and quite often better as the 'object model' is very similar but the underlying concept I wanted to explore (guaranteed tailcalls) isn't possible in C++ from what I can tell.
