This is of no consequence to the project. We can play pen pal and just converse all day, but your bad experience with C++ will have zero influence on the project, and will probably only serve to discredit your other, more important points of view if you keep pushing it. > I solved a C++ bug where > constructors were run out of sequence - No interrupts in the idle > loop because clocks were not first turned on.

Your experience will have no bearing on project philosophy relative to language selections. We are not in need of lessons on programming languages here. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
