[chbot] Programming 8-bit microcontrollers

[Charles Manning]

One of the reasons I dislike C++.... It looks like C, but it isn't.

IIRC, struct in C++ is exactly the same as class except struct is default
public while
class is default private. ie structs can have member functions, inheretance
etc.

However, by convention, struct should only be used for "dumb" C style
structures and class for everything else. Public flogging for anyone that
inherits from a struct or adds member functions.
