One thing I understand is that this cannot be called Heapless C++. It has to be a new language. It cannot be made backward-compatible. Far too many things will break. Thanks Charles for at least not calling it hopeless. :) I have firm belief that it can be done though it is a Herculean task. I will try to borrow as much syntax/features as much possible from C/C++. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal
