extremely

$100

Well I'm not going to pay $250. However reliability and code effeciency would
be at least as important.

Nope, prefer separate linker, especially MS compatible

Zilch, yuck, not at all. Who wants to debug c++ code, let alone translated
code.

Even less, see above.

Using OberonM as a possible replacement for M2 and now that have Processes and
Semaphores more or less under control, it looks like a useful beast. Since
the Ada-2 faction killed M2, Oberon looks like best option for souls not
wanting to use C-sick or C-very sick.
