Famed software engineer DJB tries Fil-C... likes what he sees

Famed mathematician, cryptographer and coder Daniel J. Bernstein has tried out the new type-safe C/C++ compiler, and he's given it a favorable report. The modestly titled Notes by djb on using Fil-C doesn't sound like much, and indeed, the introduction is similarly modest: I'm impressed with the level of compatibility of the new memory-safe C/C++ compiler Fil-C (filcc, fil++). Many libraries and applications that I've tried work under Fil-C without changes, and the exceptions haven't been hard to get working.
