I read in the LJ that Compiz is being re-written in C++.
Just to quote a small segment of the article it said:
Besides moving from C to C++, this release brings a new developer API, and splits the rendering framework into plugins.
By splitting the rendering framework into composite and opengl plugins, Compiz can be used as the known compositing window manager or as a backend for other 3D desktop programs such XRender or Clutter.
This is going to be a great improvement to Compiz in the future. If you are interested in reading the whole article go to: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/new-era-compiz.
And if you are interested in the tarball go to: http://releases.compiz.org/0.9.0/
enjoy
