  I'm a pretty experienced C/C++ programmer, so forgive me if I sound
a little biased  here.  C++ does promote modularity (data
abstraction), as well as extensibility (polymorphism and operator
overloading).  The language is extensible in most ways.  Besides, Lisp
is just a bit too cryptic (and ugly). 

Feel free to correct me, because I do not have too much experience
with Lisp due to the lack of good compilers (try getting one as good
as Borland C++ or Watcom C++) and the lack of motivation (learning
Lisp seems rather pointless, except for AI purposes).
