For those of you who program, what is your preference? I could never well manage my objects, and so for me Java and C++ were PAINFUL. But when we started C, I was in heaven. Nothing seemed more simple, other than writing in English.

I understand that the purpose of Java and other OO languages was to make it more like writing in plain language, but I just could not handle it.

I don't think you really understand the purpose of OO programming.

OO gives you tools with which you can easily expand your program, add new features and so on.
And OO makes your code readable, and understandable even for somebody who doesn't know what the program should do.

So, if you deal with a large project, on which a few programmers work, OO is nearly a necessity.

Only downside of OO, and specially Java is run-time, so if you intend on writing a program that has to run really fast, you have to use procedural languages, and sometimes even assembly.

Even I always feel good and understand C better than OO. I use C mostly. C++ and java are really a pain for me.
