This is a question I'm afraid to ask, since I believe I know what the answer
will be, and because I really don't want to start a flame war. But....
What language(s) are we using to implement VRS?
I assume most of you are assuming it will be written in C... Is anyone
interested in using a safer language (Java, C#, etc)? I'd like to help with
coding, but I personally am not going to invest time in adding more lines of
C code to the world and to future developers and maintainers. :-)
Would it be possible to separate various aspects of the VRS system into
things that need to be coded at a system level in C and things that could be
coded at a higher level in a safe language?
Maybe, as an alternative, various parts and aspects of the VRS system could
be defined in a specification, for which there could be C implementations as
well as Java implementations...may the best implementation win...etc. :-)
Thanks
Eric
