Why would it be obsolete? Just because it doesn't conform
to Microsoft's COM architecture or integrates with .NET?
Also, the move to Java isn't necessarily a good thing.
Java has its performance and reliability problems.
C++ on Linux sounds like a good platform-neutral approach
that will scale to many UNix varients.
My only concern is compatiblity with data sources.

BIG MISTAKE going to C++ !!!
Microsoft is dropping it in favor of C-sharp. And, of course, the entire
world is moving towards Java.
Microsoft is also dropping COM in favor of .NET architecture.
By the time this free source program is in beta,
it will be totally obsolete.
