hi all ,
i have a very basic doubt , why the linux kernel is not implemented using some object oriented language like C++.
i apologise , if question is nonsense !!!
In 1991 there was no good C++ compiler available, and the C++ language itself was very new. And actually i think Linus himself is not very fond of C++, and it was a good decision anyway because even if there was a good free compiler at that time, C++ adds too much code bloat to be usable on 386's.
