Out of interest, what language do you recommend?
Depends on the job -- I'm a huge fan of choosing the right tool for the
job. I just think C++ tries to be jack of all trades and winds up being
master of none.
Drifting slightly back on topic, a lot of the ZFS code (and even more
driver code) I've looked at would be cleaner in C++. As long as a
library has a C linkage public interface, there aren't any
compatibility issues. The rest is FUD.
I believe his root concern is/was that libCrun is closed source and a
drop-in replacement won't be easily possible until the compiler switches
over to using the IA64 C++ ABI. (Garrett please feel to correct me if
my assumption is wrong)
