Re: C++ and Postgis

anytime you see a codebase filled with a plethora of function pointers, LockObject and miles of code to achieve simple keyword scope (public/protected/private) then you know the product is ready to be rewritten to OO Language
My suggestion would be Java (so we could use maven for version specific build)
also because I havent seen anything from C++ that comes close to version specific builds
Also with the Maven-nar-plugin you can incorporate native binaries if you decide for a C++ refactor..

I guess what I'm saying if you're going to bite the bullet to rewrite to C++ why not just take the extra step
to rewrite to Java..yes it doesnt support multiple inheritance of classes but you *can implement multiple interfaces*

Comments?
