If GCC creators had to follow the reasoning developed in your messages, your should have had gcc to start with. In 2006, I believe the availability of java front-ends for bootsstrapping the GNU Java is sufficiently widespread enough to outweight and overcome the potential problems you're anticipating. We desperatly need to get GCC more supported, more integrated into widely used development tools. We cannot sustain improvements, competition by isolating and painting ourselves into corners. -- Gaby
