C++ is touted as for large projects - but there must be
a reason that so much of the Linux Kernel is built in
C. Could it be CVS?
Watch those headers files :-) they'll kill your
development curve.

From what I've seen of some of the more advanced rebol
programming, the reverse might be the answer: Use
rebol to build C++ code - just a thought - and you might
want to research what is being done in scheme,lisp and
bigloo ----
