Some people might not like that but I think its a practical compromise. With tracker being the only one written in pure C it is therefore the only one that can *ultimately* get into the Gnome platform and be fully integrated (at the moment I am just proposing it for desktop which is just a simple blessing nothing more).


What is the problem with having C++ into the platform? After all C++
does not bring more dependencies, and C++ does not implies C++ APIs.

Is there any written policy or is that just personnal anti-C++ FUDing
like it is pretty common in the Gnome world with mostly misinformed
statement about performance, etc ?

AFAIK GNOME platform is currently C only.

FWIW, I have nothing against C++ or any other *native* (IE non-VM) language being included there.
