C and C++

[Gabriel Farrell]

In an earlier thread indutny said, "...I'm considering Candor to be more like C, than C++" [0]. Given this design goal, why isn't Candor written in C? In asking this question I'm interested in learning more about the history of the project.

I hadn't said that, though this sentence can be *partially* applied to Candor.

Candor was started as an experiment, and it is a first thing I wrote in C++. VM relies on many C++ features, therefore porting is impossible and meaningless.

The language (Candor) is supposed to be simple, but expressive. Like lua, but with EcmaScript semantics.
