We want PuTTY to continue being pure C, at least in the
platform-independent parts and the currently existing ports. Patches
which switch the Makefiles to compile it as C++ and start using
classes will not be accepted. Also, in particular, we disapprove of
\cw{//} comments, at least for the moment. (Perhaps once C99 becomes
genuinely widespread we might be more lenient.)

The one exception: a port to a new platform may use languages other
than C if they are necessary to code on that platform. If your
