purposes are more important (Score 2, Interesting)

I don't look at the features alone in a language. Usually, I look at what its primarly used for. I use C because it's a general-purpose language, that has a strong issued standard, with ANSI compiler compliance. I find that beginner programmers who like languages with lots of features(i.e C++), they get carried away and don't learn the language like they should. C++ is an extremely complex language, that is hard to use correctly.
