Well, it's not that I haven't thought about how to write a paper on the subject.
But frankly, the timbre of these discussions leads me to believe I'd simply be defending that for hours on end and I just don't wanna fool with it. The sheer rush to judgement is enough to make me think I'm sort of out of my depth in the ability to actually debate this properly. Part of my desire to say anything is trying to get the color and shape of that.
Plus, I'd rather not break anonymity, and I (amusingly) don't own any code of consequence that could demonstrate the principles - it's all owned by my employers.
Something like that - if I can't visualize the end-game, I probably have no business starting in it. Plus, I feel somewhat strongly that the languages designed to replace C should probably be given a chance. Throw in that the compiler people, in chasing absolutely performant executables, have left old code to rot... I'm also a bit feeling out of my depth.

I can more do it than talk about it.
