And this leads to discussions on the Internet which are definitely funny! :D http://stackoverflow.com/questions/520068/why-is-the-linux-kernel-not-implemented-in-c http://stackoverflow.com/questions/520068/why-is-the-linux-k...

- zvrba 13y ago> I will never know the right way to do it in C++ IME, looking for a "right way" of doing anything requiring some kind of knowledge or technique is a tell-tale sign of inexperience. Pursuing the search, analyzing possibilities, weighing their trade-offs in the light of envisioned use-cases makes you better and more experienced. Abandoning the search.. well, you'll certainly never get better. This extends also to things like designing a LAN, database tables and relations, even to martial arts and sports.
