I don't get this comment. You want C to become C++ so it could replace
C++? It WOULD BE C++.
What do you like about C that isn't in C++?

Simplicity.
No automatic constructors, no OO orientation.
C has a lot of advantages.

yes. what i mean is that c can adapt template and namespace from c++,
because it's very useful and does not hurt the simplicity of c. this
will not make c become c++, because there's much more than generic and
namespace in c++'s feature.

Adding a turing complete sub-language won't hurt the simplicity of C?

How do you propose to make use of templates without introducing the
notion of a class?

I don't get it. If you want templates and namespaces, why don't you use a
subset of C++ (namely, C++ without the OO approach) ? It'd be some kind of
subset of C with additional things (such as ... templates and namespaces
for instance).

Templates aren't restricted to classes, though their usefulness
decreases considerably when all you have are function templates. In
theory, you could apply a template to a structure, though that strikes
me as awkward in the absence of member functions. Of course, there are
times when I've yearned for member functions in C. Maybe the OP is
looking for a watered down class concept too. ;-)

There is no function overloading in C. C++ templates without that would
not be useful.
Why don't you just use C++, since C++ has adopted most of the standard
library of C?

hi all, i'm relatively new to python. I find it a
pretty interesting language but also somewhat limiting
compared to lisp. I notice that the language does
provide a few lispy type nicities, but some very
important ones seem to be missing.
E.g., the multiple class inheritance is great,
but there are no generic functions (at least that
i can find). If i have classes X, Y, and Z,
and subclasses X_sub, Y_sub, and Z_sub respectively.

i recently looked at alexandrescu's book on c++, and i found it pretty

1. as a developer, it is important, from a bottom line standpoint, to

inevitably becomes larger and more complex to cope with unexpected

Hi all,
Can someone kindly enough point me to some situations that we shall or

options.

So I go about creating the following generic interface :
