Zircon appears to be in transition C -> C++.

It's kind of dumb to name the files ".cpp", instead of ".cc", though. For a long time, portable C++ code had to be in ".cpp" files because MSVC insisted on that, but Zircon doesn't need to be built with MSVC (and anyway, nowadays MSVC can compile ".cc" files).

I think your observation is needlessly limited. It should read:
