People's hard drives today are so big anyway that size hardly matters, mostly.

I agree space is not a big problem but anyway the proof's here:

"C++" style

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "Hello world!";
    return 0;
}

Result:

Code:

Output size is 269.50 KB

"C" style

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    puts("Hello world!");
    return 0;
}

Code:

Output size is 5.50 KB

Compile settings were exactly the same, I just changed the code.
