Going completely off topic (not that we really have a topic here..)
They say the same thing about C. The C++ people say "C is obsolete, don't bother with it", but you can see that C++ is more likely to die before C will. I doubt that they will ever write an good OS in C++.
Could you explain this please? I keep saying statements like this, or expressing similar sentiments regarding C vs C++, and I never understand them. To my mind, C++ is just C with a few additions (new/delete, class, templates), so what makes C better then C++? Since, as far as I know, any C program is a valid C++ program (with the exception, of course, of C programs that use C++ keywords, which is a stupid "exception"), so what makes C so much better?
I personally see C++ as better, firstly because I prefer new/delete vs malloc/free, just semantically. Secondly because I like OO programming, so I tend to use it in most of my "larger" projects, and having to deal with lots of "OO" code written in C has made me bitter.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
