[LC++]OS Programming

[George T. Talbot]

I think it's tough to maintain a large C++ OS and API.  I had read that
one of the things that kept BeOS from being the next Apple OS was the
"fragile base class problem".  Apparently NEXT's OS, written in Objective
C didn't have that problem which is why they bought it.
