Hardly blindly.

It's been a C codebase so far. Introducing C++ makes this no longer the case. This has strong implications for both development and deployment. I'm perplexed since there exist battle-tested code generation engines written in C (e.g. dynasm). Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't look like asmjit is anything special in that regard.

I can't imagine Joe Armstrong being happy about this.
