Kernel & C language : History & Reason?
Why Linus torvalds is preferring to continue to development of Kernel in C language & not C++?
Long time back, Linus dropped the bomb on the guy who was suggesting of kernel development in C++.
There gotta be some specific reason on technical side, I am sure of that. Linus ain't a dumb 😀

If any CEan knows technical reason(apart from the details in link posted above) of using C for development of kernel & not C++ then please share some knowledge here.

rahul69LOL ! ,that article is really meant to piss off C++ lovers😉. Coming to the point, I think that one reason for using C over C++ is that C is faster than C++, (although a little) but it is. Apart from that it just looks like a personal choice😁 -
PensuHaha! That was intense.....😁 Anyways,as Linus also mentioned efficiency, I agree with #-Link-Snipped-#, the speed advantage of C over C++ might be the reason.
