Re: [ros-dev] win32k C++ suggestion

[Aleksey Bragin]

I always liked C++, and it was my main development language before I 
joined ReactOS. Indeed let's not rush, think/discuss through all 
possible things and then start gradually going for it for code pieces 
which are good (which means GDI first of all).
