Removing bad quotation

I'm removing the part which said A criticism is that EC++ is intended for use with 32-bit architecture instead of focusing on the big market of 8/16-bit microcontrollers.. If you follow the link, you see that it's (a) the usual "oh, C++ code is too big and slow for my sysem!" critisism, (b) it actually hopes EC++ will fix that and (c) the text is from 1997 and it's not clear that it's relevant thirteen years later.

Oops, I misread the reference. While (a–c) above are true, the 8/16-bit complaint is there. I won't make that change. JöG (talk) 20:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

well, it's been almost another 3 years, I think we can remove that criticism now. At least the 8/16 bit CPU market is no longer the "big market", even in embedded systems. With 32 bit CPUs now available in 48 pin packages, I don't think anybody is reasonably expecting to use C++ in any flavor if they're still using an 8-bit CPU. If that's removed, do we really need a criticism section at all? Nerfer (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on 16/32 bit stuff

Managing to compile code for 32/16/other bits architectures is device specific, this is not EC++ specific. EC++ compilers for 8/16-bits architecture could emerge naturally depending on business demand. agr 21 July 2010

Comment on EC++ website not updated since 2002

Isn't it a sign of stability ? EC++ is stable since 2002, sounds good to me. agr 21 July 2010

No, it's a sign that the website isn't maintained anymore. If this really still is the official website, then that is a pretty good indicator that Embedded C++ isn't maintained anymore. No news for eight years has nothing to do with stability. Has anyone checked whether some companies still support compilers for it? – Adrianwn (talk) 17:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Apple's I/O Kit?

Apple's I/O Kit appears to be the most significant project using EC++, and is currently maintained. c.f I/O Kit Fundamentals: What Is the I/O Kit? "[I/O Kit] is based on an object-oriented programming model implemented in a restricted form of C++ that omits features unsuitable for use within a multithreaded kernel." --April Arcus (talk) 22:53, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
