I agree here...and I'm the one who suggested C++.  My main argument was
that C++ is the new standard...but I think it would be better to fix
bugs and add features like 4 byte float and 8 byte double support to
CC65.  I'll see what I can do, but this seems like a large project for
my current experience.

Yes, CC65 is pretty awesome, and free is a very good price :)

Although it's great to be so enthusiastic, I would (personal opinion)
much rather see people's efforts being concentrated on making what is an
already great product (CC65) an even better and better product than
currently.

We can always get greedy and want more and more of a range of products,
but I'd rather see a bug free and more enhanced CC65 than another
compiler. Uz seems to be working so hard on this, lets get any support
right behind him!

Well, Java would be a bit heavy and slow, but C++ should be about as
fast as C I'd think... maybe a speed penalty during some constructors
and destructors and returning sizable objects.

Actually, I think I'd be happy with doubles for now :)
