[Proj] Use of C++

[Kurt Schwehr]

Janne,

You mean microcontroller? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCU

How about naming just one example that you think proj must support?

Make some sort of useful concrete statement.

However, you do appreciate you making me laugh with your C++ comments
trying to troll.
