I'm fairly strongly against using C++. C++'s language design is an "everything including the kitchen sink, lots of "this is here for back compat but it's a bear trap", lots of new stuff arriving all the time. It's just too big to keep in your head all at once. C has its faults, absolutely, but at least it tries to be a reasonably sized vaguely coherent language. You'd have more luck persuading me we should move to Rust: at least then we'd get some clear benefits (no more buffer overrun security bugs) for the upheaval :-) thanks -- PMM
