This is the kernel community you're talking about - saying that it prefers any language (except possibly C) is asking for big-time trouble :) *I* prefer Python, and the Sphinx side of things is necessarily in Python, so I'd be happy to see kernel-doc move over. That said, others certainly disagree. Markus's work was here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1485287564-24205-1-git-send-email-markus.heiser@xxxxxxxxxxx/ At the time, we were just trying to get the RST transition done, and swapping out the kernel-doc script seemed like a major distraction that we didn't need, so this never got looked at as seriously as I would have liked. > Personally, I'd rather play with translating this script to Raku (aka > Perl 6). Trying to add yet another language dependency is another path to unhappiness, we're not going to go there. Thanks, jon
