rust too

Yeah but a lot of that C code has inline assembly so it's more like 5-10% asm.

Wot no Delphi?

I've read that they are writing parts of the kernel in Rust

Why do I suddenly feel a meme coming on? 😅

they dumped everything in the languaga, at least samething they needed to have right, it's otherwise statistically impossible

The STD is maybe the only good thing C++ has over C, and even that is awful compared to other language’s standard libraries.

I can’t name another good thing C++ has. Maybe templates. C++’s reliance on inheritance for polymorphism is awful (should’ve gone with interfaces/traits).

Not to mention the mess with all the different types of constructors that must always be implemented.

It’s just a bunch of bad design choices added on top of an old outdated language.

Take a look at what even the proposer is saying wouldn't be allowed in:

 (1) new and delete.  There's no way to pass GFP_* flags in.

 (2) Constructors and destructors.  Nests of implicit code makes the code less
     obvious, and the replacement of static initialisation with constructor
     calls would make the code size larger.

 (3) Exceptions and RTTI.  RTTI would bulk the kernel up too much and
     exception handling is limited without it, and since destructors are not
     allowed, you still have to manually clean up after an error.

 (4) Operator overloading (except in special cases).

 (5) Function overloading (except in special inline cases).

 (6) STL (though some type trait bits are needed to replace __builtins that
     don't exist in g++).

 (7) 'class', 'private', 'namespace'.

 (8) 'virtual'.  Don't want virtual base classes, though virtual function
     tables might make operations tables more efficient.

C++ without class, constructors, destructors, most overloading and the STL? Wow.
