I don't think there are really technological reasons. Oh well, except, perhaps, when John and me found a bug in a compiler... but that happens, we're talking about software here (: > Asking that unrelated to TS for an incubating > project that could or could not use templates. The most compelling argument against templates is that the project has mostly C hackers as committers. But then again, wouldn't that be the most compelling argument against using C++ to begin with? So in essence I think it boils down to: How confident are your project members with C++? What language features can you all agree on using? > Regards > -- > ^TM So long, i -- Igor Galić Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.ga...@brainsware.org URL: http://brainsware.org/ GPG: 6880 4155 74BD FD7C B515 2EA5 4B1D 9E08 A097 C9AE
