Evolution is written in C.
FWIW, userspace is moving away from C as unproductive and unsafe. KDE is
of course C++, mozilla, openoffice are C++, and gnome is moving towards
(of all things) C#.
GCC considered adopting a C++ subset. My impressions of the discussion
was that (a) a majority of the developers would like that (b) RMS would
never allow it (c) there were concerns about bootstrap on platforms
where a C++ compiler was not available.
Kernels of other operating systems (Windows, AIX (?)) allow C++. And
don't start about Windows crashing whenever you sneeze at it - it's so 1998.
