i don't think i said it should not be supported.
come to think of it, i use pm which is currently still in c++.

if i aimed to discourage anything, it was
its enthusiastic use, especially for new things.
really, though, i was simply making some observations
about my own experience, particularly wrt maintenance,
since c++ and java enthusiasts often don't spend a lot
of time maintaining large quantities of other peoples'
code, and at one time, i did.  actually, i still do
but fortunately none of it is in c++ or java.
of course, the language is only part of it, as
rapidly becomes evident when reading the linux source code;
even to try to find the bits one needs to examine.
there's glory for you!
