He is like the old folk that hates everything new just because is new. C++ is way more comfortable to use than C

The kernel itself is not even "C" anymore, as they are using compiler-specific functions.

And Linus already writes C++ code

Hey, posting from Coping People's Party is cheating.

/mj Let's keep the language used in your description to the chans. It's a jerking style violation anyway.

Lol, the dude who made the thread just hates Rust and will grab at any straws to build his case against it. One dude in LKML suggests C++, gets told "ain't gonna happen" and the rust-hater turns into "being discussed". It's clickbait.
