I gently suggest that people not criticize one language versus another
unless they have substantial experience coding in both. Otherwise I would
suspect they do not know what they are talking about.

Shame on you. Someday someone as ill informed of GMPI as your of C++
will talk the same trash about us.
C++ IS A DIFFERENT LANGAUGE THAN C.
The C++ spec is maintained by C++ developers, not C developers. C++
took the crude notion of "types" via "typedef" and replaced it with
genuine user defined types (classes) and all that entails. Most of the
time you don't even need to use the keyword "typedef" in C++, unless you
are dealing with a primitive type.
C++ vs. C debates aside, I think some of us need a little attitude
adjustment. We haven't even begun writing any real GMPI code yet and
already there's way too much criticism and negativity (e.g., supposed
cons of C++, *nix or Windows.) We're never going to make any progress
this way.
If anyone wants to present a principled criticism of C++ or anything
else, based on a foundation of knowledge and experience, please do so,
but keep it factual. If you want to take pot-shots or otherwise engage
in back seat driving, bite your tongue.
Thanks. Moving along...
