Re: Are C++ contributions welcome?

To be honest, I like a lot projects made in C. I have been working with Qt and 
with Gtk and I must say that it is easy for me to understand Gtk that is in C 
than Qt that is in C++. Something I feel like if C++ design do unnecessary 
abstration. The thing is that due to my job, I am more familiar with C++ 
since the project in which I work at my job is a really big monster that 
seems to be easier to manage using an a litter high level language as C++ 
instead C.

I would like to learn more C, but sometime I think I should focus in one 
language and learn as much as possible about it.

Sometime ago I had to decide between C and C++. Looking around my city, it was 
easy to find a good job working for a big mega-application that for a small 
system application. It doesn't mean I like more working in high-level but C++ 
seems to have the best of both worlds. 

I will try to do things in C... 

Btw, more than strings I miss STL containers and algorithmits, but, if I want 
to join to contribute I know I must adapt myself to the rules. So, i will try 
to do thing in C.

Thanks

I don't feel comfortable programing in C and I prefer C++ only because I
have more experience using this one. May I contribute to this project in
that language?.

Any programmer can learn a new language as long as they have enough
programming skills; it's not the language you are proficient in, it is
the programming you are proficient in. If you would like to contribute
to git, consider polishing up your C, really it is not all that hard
;). The main thing you will probably stumble into is the lack of
std::string, but there are plenty examples in the git codebase to
learn how git handles string.
