Yes, people on this list generally care about C++. However, there is a very large group - most of the Firefox Team and a large amount of Firefox OS developers - who don't. To them, C++, libxul, others libs are 10+ minutes of CPU wall time before they can get to things they care about (JS, CSS, XUL, etc). I'll reply more later. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
