Hi,

I was wondering what your plans are regarding the C++ Compiler in the long term. Obviously, you have created a full-blown compiler (from lexer & parser to optimized back-end), which can compete with Borland, Microsoft, GCC.

What happens to it if, God forbid this, some accident happens to you ? Do you have a script running somewhere that automatically posts the source code in case you don't type in a password every 30 days ? Is there a secret organization that has access to the repository and calls you once a year ?

OK, that was mostly a question asked out of curiousity, but I am sure that many of us wonder that from time to time. :)

I really think that your compiler is great, I am grateful that you allow us to use it for free, and I hope that you live a long and happy life; I am sure that you will make the compiler even better !


Yours truly,
Adder
