OMG.

It's better than C. In almost every aspect. Stop. Nothing else. Of
course, if you want to write something like systemd in Python, Perl,
Pascal, Modula or Erlang, feel free to so. And if you want more security
bugs, feel free to still use C for string handling instead of
std::string, Or still write your sorted list for every structure (or 
just don't and go the slow way, because you don't find the time to do it 
right in C). And ...

You don't have to understand how templates do work to use e.g.
std::string. Other people do hard stuff for you. So don't panic.
