Forgot but you also gain multilinguage support through a nice mechanism - 
tr("Your text with %1").args(parameter), making it easy to see texts instead 
of obscure constants.

Yep, that's why C++ is in my "various" list.

Rotting could be fun, but depending on implementation you'd have multiple food 
parts similar but not merging because "dropped-tick" isn't the same...


As for trolls, that's one disadvantage they have - need MUCH food. On the 
opposite, Devourer adepts almost don't use food...
