I had asked that my earlier post not be construed as an attempt to start a language war, and, guess what? We now have a language war.

Sigh.

At least this one has been fairly tame. If there's anything nice about the above discussion, it's that I've learned a lot about exception-handling programming. Thanks! ;-)

Object-oriented design patterns in the kernel, part 1

Well, I actually deeply hate C++ :) But I also can't tolerate FUD for the languages I really hate.

Agreed, such FUD and lies are really annoying. I have very little love for C++ but anyone who claims that C++ cannot do something while C can is just making pure noise and calling to be filtered out.

If we're going to have a language flame-war anyway, I propose rewriting the kernel in Occam. :)
