But the sets of people interested in each project are disjoint.
Having a bunch of madpeople converting to C++ won't stop the
other coders adding features. I, for one, have contributed a
negligible ammount of code in all the time I've been in the
project, mostly because I can't afford the time to read the
whole source code and understand its structure and style.

C++ and some UML would make it a lot faster for new coders to
start being productive, too (of course that would mean they'll
have to know C++ first...)
