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.

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.

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

And Linus already writes C++ code

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