Seriously though, try implementing a linked list or hash table in C. And then again for your second and third project. Then you will see why everyone uses STD for this kind of stuff.

There is only so much you can implement without using classes, if you don't want to fill up your program with messy structures and pointers like in the Linux kernel. It makes for an unmaintainable mess.

makes sense. thank god he didn't use java...

Java is a more advanced C++. It's great for general purpose applications and of course it's easy to use and maintain. Most of the libraries you need are available in Java, so actually customization is minimal, most of the time.
On the other hand, NotATether is right about C. In C you can literally do anything you want, because you have direct access to the RAM (memory), using pointers and memory allocation functions (malloc, calloc etc).
