@zzt This is the same man who berated people for suggesting using C++ in the kernel back in 2007, because “a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it.”

lol. lmao even.

Also: Linus has always been an asshole.

Edit: people reading this and concluding that I think C++ should have been accepted in Linux are missing the point. My point is that Linus’s argument against C++ back in 2007 is the same argument he should be making against slopcode.
