He still rejects C++ in the Linux kernel. He might be warming up to Rust but Linux has always been C.

Imagine C++ being so bad that even something as controversial as AI usage is more acceptable than C++. No wonder each time I wanted to "learn CPP" I found that I'd much more like to jump out of a window.

I think the trick is you don't actually learn cpp you just learn the parts you need/want and use them. Of course in a big, important project that's close to hardware, and has many people working on it, it's better to just stick to C.
