I have many timed tried to embark on this very journey and always gave up when I realized I had none of the conveniences available to me as I do with the Java platform. I thought of all the conveniences of Spring injection, a bazillion java libraries nicely managed by maven etc. The ecosystem available to me in Java is what always made me give up. I guess I never needed to learn C/C++ badly enough to justify the time investment.
