C won't be disappearing tomorrow, says the stable kernel maintainer, but the future of Linux belongs to Rust.

    Also, using C++ has vtable/exception overhead. No-go.

    That’s just nonsense. The kernel and most other big C projects are full of structs with manual re-implementations of vtables.

    If you don’t want exceptions (I don’t either), C++ doesn’t require you to use them. KDE software builds without them.
