What you are trying to do is laudable, if a little quixotic. I guess the opinion derives from the common view that you should pick the appropriate language for a task. Which leads to: if you want generic containers and algorithms, pick a language with them built in. > A committee member told me that in his shop, all code will be compiled > as C++ anyway so what I proposed was besides the point. You will never get past that. It's analogous to trying to persuade someone to use 10 piece toolkit when they have access to a 50 piece kit. > Not all people were like that of course, and I gathered merit for the > best documentation proposal from one of the committee members.

If a frontal attack failed, you'll have to use the back door: get your library into a widely used distribution. This won't be easy, but it is the only way to get something so large into a standard. -- Ian
