Hi,

I just the GSoC proposal for a "Higher level API for C and C++". I _think_ I understand where this comes from, but it does raise some very fundamental issues about how GRASS is written and should be written, notably, but not only, the inclusion of a C++ API.

I just want to ensure that there is sufficient discussion on the list about such a project which could have far-reaching consequences. And if we ever decide to for such a project, then I think it has to be made absolutely clear that the student working on this needs to be extremely proficient in C/C++. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we risk creating a great mess that might need lots of cleanup work afterwards.

Moritz
