Re: Windows 2003 64 Bit memory utilization?

[Robert Buck]

Related to porting to C++, back when I helped port a large (8+ million
line) code base to C++ we had tougher issues than what is faced within
memcached, and the product was provably the better for it -- customers
noticed the increased level of stability that resulted in addressing a
host of latent bugs that C helped to hide. It is not terribly hard to
port to C++, but it takes commitment from all parties involved. As for
benefits, there were that ended up being resolved as a result. It was
a painful few months, but even the die-hard C-fans appreciated the
benefits.
