Really? Linux kernel uses extensive OOP/C.

• WalterBright 5y ago
  I haven't looked at how the kernel is written. But Linus has a problem using a more powerful language - if Linux adopted one just for OOP, then it will become impossible to hold back contributors from using every last feature of that language. I can understand the reluctance to deal with that.

    Well he already has plenty of GCC extensions to chose from.
