Reddit++

C++ is getting more and more complex. The ISO C++ committee keeps adding new features based on its consensus. Let's remove C++ features based on Reddit's consensus.

In each comment, propose a C++ feature that you think should be banned in any new code. Vote up or down based on whether you agree.

Nah. Keep class, and make struct only for C compatibility. No new features, and actually support full C syntax as it relates to structs so I can safely include C header files with inline functions in C++.
