What is C with classes?

Question

C++ / C#

Habré recently had a poll on the topic of who uses which version of the C ++ standard. In the survey, in addition to listing the standards, there was an item "I write in C with classes." The item scored, it seems, about 15% of the votes.
Do I understand correctly that these people actually write in pure C, they only use classes and that's it?

Answer 1

Bjarne Stroustrap - The Design and Evolution of C++.
You will find a more detailed answer in chapter 2.

Answer 2

This is the name of the code that Sishniks write in C++, who have not realized all sorts of high matters there, such as OOP, Liskova's rules, patterns-shmatterns and other unnecessary nonsense :)
So, in general, you are right.

Answer 3

Yes, they say they don’t use STL, all sorts of Boost and so on.
Usually a popular approach with people that C++ doesn't feed. Although I may be wrong, but the other option seems just strange to me.

Answer 4

If I'm not mistaken, this was the name of the first generation of C++, when it had not yet claimed the role of an independent language, but was more like regular C with some object-oriented features. At that time there was not even a full-fledged compiler. There was only a translator to pure C.
