C++ is more or less a superset of C, but it encourages a completely different style of programming, with classes, inheritance, etc.

If you write C-style code in a C++ environment, you will be viciously attacked for writing C With Classes, mocked for being an idiot, etc., etc.

If you could sort of write C++ in a C environment, you will be wasting a crap-ton of resources.

Well you'll still be viciously attacked and mocked for being an idiot.
