Heh. Well that's just fine because it solves a big problem.

I was just thinking today how this gets beyond a problem that BeOS had/has -
because the API to their system was OO everybody was tied to C++. Most code
just isn't C++ these days so the developments were real slow.

Besides we've doing quite well with 25 year old technology so far :-)
