guy. Somehow the kernel and Gnome reached a local optimum at the C
hacker level and that is where they stay.

The kernel uses C for good sound reasons - C++ is slower, harder to
debug and the tools suck in relative terms. You can use a subset of C++
to write OS core code, that has been demonstrated, but C++ is not
beneficial in that space. Much of that is down to the fact C++ is a
dreadfully designed language rather than going agains the basic argument
about using the right tools for the right job.

From the kernel viewpoint C++ is the badly designed swiss army knife
bought in a cheap junk shop - it has lots of interesting ways to cut
yourself but none of the tools actually help you do anything useful.
