Looks like they put a government construction worker in charge of a programming team.

Garbage collectors are one of the most dangerous job on the planet, largely due to the risk of a fatal crash. I imagine it's even worse if you haven't had your morning Java.

Well, presumably they still don't fade (and shouldn't bleach nor bleed).

Wah! Wah! Testing is too hard. Fuck that.

Rust can't be used to build a kernel because you can't handle OOM reliably.

From context I'm getting that's Out Of Memory. I don't know much about Rust; but what you're describing sounds more like a problem with the current implementation rather than the language itself... unless the developers painted themselves into a corner by specifying that allocation failure must panic and can't return something like a NULL.

No, silly. The game is still digital. The purchase can be of a physical CD using physical money.

Me, personally? I wouldn't want to do anything you describe. I'm wagering Linus doesn't either. The question was if he was *interested* in these new languages. Laying that aside now, what you're describing might be easier with Clang. That leads (heheh) to another question, and a quick googling seems to indicate that the kernel can't be built with Clang yet...

Correct. Just like when an obscure person becomes well-known, it doesn't make them any younger. And when your body temperature soars during cremation, you also aren't any younger.

There's an app for that.

People have been known to wish they had at least the understanding of English as a first grade student.

Oh, we do... it's called a "bullet".

This is close enough to the question I had in mind that I've decided to comment on this thread instead. My question would have been phrased as: Do you ever see yourself wanting to do kernel programming in something other than C and assembly?

Particularly I'm wondering if he has any interest in Rust or Go, since they are actually targeting themselves at lower levels. I doubt he'd want to put Haskell in the kernel; whereas he might have different opinions about it outside that domain. Of course hopefully he'll answer so we won't have to speculate.

Race relations are hard. Society is complicated. Your bike shed is the wrong color. Don't fly that flag on it.

The Qihoo router normally emits dangerous-sounding em radiation, by default. Best to avoid their routers, but if you're stuck with them be sure to enable the safe mode. Other companies' routers always run in safe mode, which is why they don't have that setting.
