That is actually an argument in favor of a rewrite, C++ is not very
popular in the Linux community. Contributing to Nix will become a lot
more attractive when it's written in a language that people actually
enjoy using. At least that's how I personally feel about it, I'm just
not interested in doing any C++ anymore.
