Love the systematic approach. Thanks! -- Andrei

While I agree with some of your remarks (particularily, the fact that it becomes too "scripting" language) ... where to go?

I don't like Go (syntax, mainly). The sole contender in the C++-like family, for systems programming, would be Vala, but since they dropped the posix profile... :(

I don't know, but I am keeping an eye on bitc:

I like how Shapiro discuss the various issues.

D has set a new standard for me.  No CTFE, no thanks.

he's drama queen, he doesn't need any help, only attention.

language without CTFE is soo unpleasant to use after D. i'm programmed
in various lisps and schemes and was very glad to find the
C-like language with metaprogramming abilities. and I WANT AST
MACROS! ;-) no, i don't want to write code to *support* AST macros, i
want to write code that *uses* AST macros. ;-)

Just let's try to be less harsher. Even if that's true, being harsh would be of no good for that person and for us neither.

Support for C++ namespaces where just released and support for C++ templates will most likely end up in master soon.

Support for C++ templates was in the last release, and the new pull request is only for special mangling of some stl declarations.
