Have you? I have been a Norman Ramsey stalker since 1997, I dabbled in every project the man ever touched, and C-- is not what the author needs. He wants C performance with higher abstractions. C-- is C performance with assembly abstractions (i.e. lower)
Yes, though C-- might be a good target for his amplify system, still.
D also looks interesting --- as a much saner C++.
I predicted that my comment would be taken pejoratively, but I didn't correct for it. All I wanted to know is, had C-- been looked at? Thanks for putting it into perspective.
