     Hey T.J., you seem to contradict yourself when saying "C and C++ 
are strongly typed" and "Type checking is never C's job." :-)


     Actually, yes, C and C++ are typed, but weakly. They silently do 
type conversion in pretty much every instruction. One assumes the 
programmers knows it and takes care...


     What are your preventions against OOP for graphics? Is it against 
OOP in general?


     I imagine the reason why Glib was written in C is because binding 
to other languages is easier with C than C++.


     Have a good day.
