"Linux kernel founder Linus Torvalds recently explained in an email why kernel development requires C language instead of C ++. In a large project, people do not know about modules that are not developed by themselves. Only by quickly understanding the exact meaning of functions in other modules can the development efficiency be improved, the various abstractions introduced by C ++ make the code obscure.
In addition, Linus also believes that the C ++ memory management method is very poor (that idiotic "new" keyword in C ++ ). The final conclusion of the email is: Obviously C is not suitable for all projects, but C ++? Forget it. Garbage collection, concurrency, and so on, these are really important features.
So what is the C ++ alternative he expects? Is it an emerging Go language? Or Will 2.0 of the D language be ushered in soon? Or is it replaced by virtual machine-based languages such as Java and. net? "
