Also, I don't know when Dmitri written his post, but git uses its own
string manipulation mini-library, named strbuf, at least since end of 2007
(Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt was added as stub on 2007-11-24).

An interesting point, Dmitri written this post on September 2007...
why the flamewar continuation? just curiosity...

Now, as a resume of flames and concepts, the 'better' things in the
string library (also the first excuse for C++ apologists, as a
repetitive piece of youknowwhat) are pure algorithms and data
structures, easy to code in C. The goal isn't in the OO design or
abstraction itself, or in the language...

Personally, I use C++ almost every day at work and I found it stupid.
I love pure C.
