I am working on a process simulator and have an ambivalent relationship with C++. I am a fan of Excel-VB and VB. Unfortunately, C/C++ are the fastest in performing hefty simulations.

My wish list: 1- ANSI C be equipped with structure that can contain methods and that's all nothing more to add. C++ is ugly and messy.

2- Microsoft adds features to Excel-VBA and VB so C functions and structures can be called easily (and readably) from within Excel-VBA and VB.
