- klyrs 6y agoThat isn't really supported by the article you linked -- it describes C as an extension of B multiple times.

My source for the claim itself is from 14m30s of Brian Cantrill's talk "Is It Time to Rewrite the Opersting System in Rust" https://youtu.be/HgtRAbE1nBM https://youtu.be/HgtRAbE1nBM
