Hope that if a micro-kernel is chosen for Hurd other than Mach or if a Mach
rewrite takes place, then the language "still" remains C/C++ otherwise I
think
it is going to deter a lot of developers.
I have read up on Coyotos but it seems to be using BitC, which I think will
frighten a lot of developers?
