Nothing wrong with C or it's derivatives. Once you've acquainted 
yourself with the syntax, it's quite powerful.

Then you can do such convenient things as:

int * DoStuff(int i)
{
   //... code for DoStuff here ...
}

int *(*pfunc)(int);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    pfunc = DoStuff;

    // This will call DoStuff (In C# pfunc would be called a "delegate")
    int *pWhatever = pfunc(4096);
}
