Re: C++

Scott,

Nicely put. Ultimately I fear that this C vs. C++ issue is just another
manifestation of the Qt vs. gtk war and thus is not really conducive to
the furtherment of either.  The technical merits of C++ are obvious (you
missed namespaces - you can  also hack around it in C - sorta...)
Ultimately my interests are not related to UIs, rather to component 
frameworks which I intend to be non-UI specific.  I also find it quite
amusing the way the all these C hacks are put forward as valid
work-arounds for missing language features - like implicit admissions.
