Some of the features people are talking > about (exception > handling?) rely on an OS-like thing as well as the language. exception handling requires OS support? I don't doubt it *can* be done with OS support, but in most cases it is done totally without. Think for yourself: it is not difficult to transform a program that uses C-with-exception-handlers in to a plain C program. which other features would you be worried about?
