C++ is a badly designed and ugly language. It would be a shame
|
||
|
|
to use it in Emacs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reason the GCC developers wanted to use it is for destructors
|
||
|
|
and generics. These aren't much use in Emacs, which has GC and in
|
||
|
|
which data types are handled at the Lisp level.
