Coming from a web language though, you're right you will miss that syntactic sugar but even more, you'll cry about how complex string and pointer handling is.

I think i will go for c/c++ but not sure what compiler to use. I'm pretty familiar with most programming concepts, OO, etc through having programmed in php for the last 8 years I think i will be wanting to use constructs that im used to that probably won't exist in c/c++ such as the foreach statement.
