Good point. About the only thing C++ has going for it as an OO
language is popularity. If the goal is just to provide better API in
the kernel, then there are certainly better languages to add.
D comes to mind. I'd much rather write D than C++ - but that's got
more to do with C++ than D, as it's true for most substitutes for
D. But D is OO - done much better than C++ - and has a front end
available for GCC. It may not be a good choice, as I haven't looked at
it seriously. But I certainly wouldn't start trying to improve the
FreeBDS kernel by adding support for a new language without doing so.
