Hi,
Two other possibilities come to mind. I don't know whether these have been investigated and dismissed already, however. 1. Pypy, which, when complete, should out-perform the current Python interpreter significantly.
which one is pypy?
2. Vala, which is already a gnome project. It's an object-oriented programming language with built-in memory management that can be compiled into C code.
arg, not another language that solves this problem :(
My concern regarding C and C++ is the risk of segmentation faults due to pointer and memory management bugs, which seem to creep into C/C++ software despite everybody's best efforts, especially with multi-threaded systems.
Honestly I don't find this too be a huge issue, leaks can be a problem, but that only matters in programs that stay in use for long periods of time. Trev
