Hi Doug,
up to now, we've only coded things in C/C++ when we needed some OS-specific
functionality that was not available directly through Java. We also
spawn off external utilities when it makes sense for speed or functionality
(e.g. ctags). There's been no set policy, but your point about potentially
being able to use C code to speed up some of the operations is a really
good one, one that we should keep in mind. I agree that things like
parsing/analysis are particularly good candidates.
