i think the plan 9 community does come off as reactionary. we tend to fight change too often to no effect or declare things as depricated and useless when they are not. i don't think that object-oriented design is one of these. especially as implemented by c++. i think limbo or go's approach to this (regardless of what you think of the langage) is much more sensible. go of course, goes a little further in what you can do with an interface. - erik
