Dmitry, I think what Johannes says in the above line is 100% the core
point of this (sad) discussion.

You cannot force/convince someone to use something he hates. That's
it. And there's no point in trying to do this.

git developers were also kind enough to give explanations on 'why' C++
is not a good language for them. Do you don't agree? do you find the
arguments not totally satisfying for you? That's not their problem.

I like C++ (a my little git related GUI tool called qgit is done in
C++) and at the same time I understand also much of the concerns that
where expressed in the list.

Your position will never be successful for a number of reasons, some
clear expressed other less clear but at the same time, perhaps more
important. So I really don't understand why you insist.

Thanks
Marco


P.S: The example you show is a pity for C++, it's like to advertise a
1000cc 200Hp motorbike saying "...and you will no have problems in
parking in your box."
