Any programmer can learn a new language as long as they have enough programming skills; it's not the language you are proficient in, it is the programming you are proficient in. If you would like to contribute to git, consider polishing up your C, really it is not all that hard ;). The main thing you will probably stumble into is the lack of std::string, but there are plenty examples in the git codebase to learn how git handles string. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
