Dmitry, I think what Johannes says in the above line is 100% the core point of this (sad) discussion.
You cannot force/convince someone to use something he hates. That's it. And there's no point in trying to do this.
git developers were also kind enough to give explanations on 'why' C++ is not a good language for them. Do you don't agree? do you find the arguments not totally satisfying for you? That's not their problem.
I like C++ (a my little git related GUI tool called qgit is done in C++) and at the same time I understand also much of the concerns that where expressed in the list.
Your position will never be successful for a number of reasons, some clear expressed other less clear but at the same time, perhaps more important. So I really don't understand why you insist.
Thanks Marco
P.S: The example you show is a pity for C++, it's like to advertise a 1000cc 200Hp motorbike saying "...and you will no have problems in parking in your box."
