Hi Boosters...
I hope we can work to stop this rivalry, it does not help anybody...
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/57643/focus=57918 I don't see there is anything useful we can contribute. Linus is obviously deeply opposed to C++. I didn't find any of his arguments persuasive but I don't think there is anything we can do to change his mind, and taking part in the discussion is just throwing petrol on the fire. (By the way, remember that a design aim for C++ was to leave no room for a language - such as C - between C++ and assembler.) -- Martin Bonner Senior Software Engineer/Team Leader PI SHURLOK LTD Telephone: +44 1223 441434 / 203894 (direct) Fax: +44 1223 203999 Email: martin.bonner@pi-shurlok.com www.pi-shurlok.com disclaimer
