Which one do you feel adds more value to the conversation. Knowing it's written in C++, or knowing it's a fork of an existing project that many might be familiar with? Do you think people are more likely to say, "Hey, this was written in C++. I liked other C++ software so I'm going to try this" or "Hey, it's a fork of moosefs. It had some details I would've liked changed, I'll give this a shot" ?
