I'd love to see which features of C++11 are allowed in the code base, though those who's not C++ might not be interested

You still need java to build the thing. The last git clone i did about 2 weeks ago errored durinf the build process due to no jdk being found

I hve not tried the --without-java option in the build process yet though, not sure if it will work.

Last I built it, go-office 3.2, it built without Java fine.

As for UNO - it is not bad if it would be used only to provide an API and language bindings.. however some functionality is written on top of UNO API, which makes that code ugly and inefficient.
Code style is the least of a problem I think.. A lot more annoying is the lack of tests for many parts of the program - which makes refactoring hard and very likely causes a regression.

I'm just sensible to code style, just like I can't work with a keyboard if it's dirty despite it working properly.
