On: Linus Torvalds on C++

[16s]

Why not take the kernel (it's gpl code) and re-write a major part of it in C++? And then fork that and get others to use it? That would either prove that C++ can be used in kernel or disprove it. We could call it C++nux ;)

Then, the BSD guys would have even more reason to call Linux garbage and the OS/language/superiority wars would rage on for even more generations. Wouldn't that be so cool.

That sounds like a lot of effort for nothing but if you fancy doing it, then it's gpl so nobody is stopping you.

edit: I didn't see the last part of your comment, did you edit it? either that or I have a sense of humor failure :)
