There is no C++ allowed in the Linux kernel and Linus has gone on several major rants about how terrible a language it is.

There’s assembly and makefiles too

Less of a joke answer, there has been work to allow Rust bindings for drivers.

According to the github analysis, the kernel repository is:

  • C 98.3%
  • Assembly 0.7%
  • Shell 0.4%
  • Makefile 0.2%
  • Python 0.2%
  • Perl 0.1%
  • Other 0.1%

So yeah, its basically all C, plus a tiny bit of assembly for very low level bootstrapping and some helper scripts.

Yeah but a lot of that C code has inline assembly so it’s more like 5-10% asm.

Lots of core UNIX and Linux projects are. C++ is not liked by a lot of low level FOSS community. I think Rust is going to get further into these areas. I know C++ well but prefer C. I know plenty of others who feel the same.

I’ve read that they are writing parts of the kernel in Rust

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
