Hey Olaf,
Glad to hear you made it home in time! I think last we all spoke, we
needed a license before code could be committed. I'm sure that's on
Garrett's long TODO list.
Ok. I remember C was chosen for the engine. What's the rationale
behind this decision?
C++ seems to make more sense to me. It has no problems with safe
strings and memory/resource management.

As we discussed during the summit and is mentioned on the wiki:
* Few dependencies
* Fast
* Small
* Binding facilities for most high level languages are common
The ability to tie a C library into anything and everything is the
biggest reason to use C over C++, using and binding to C++ libraries
(especially in most languages - they tend to be written in C) is a real
headache - actually beyond a headache, most times it's just a recipe for
failure.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Smith
