Proposal
Rewrite the core parts of the experiment code in C++11 or maybe even C++17.
Rational
It's been almost 10 years since we rewrote the experiment code in our funky OO dialect of C. Since then, C++ has become much more ubiquitous and there are high quality C++11/17 compilers for all relevant platforms. There are more people who are familiar with "standard" C++ than our particular style of OO-C which means we might attract more contributors.
Benefits
