Well, here is a very funny one-off commit, but my biggest effort was probably substantial parts of a couple AMD/ATI GPU drivers, well-summarized here. As usual, that was a team effort, with particular credit to Deucher (AMD), Glisse (radeon maintainer), and Airlie (DRM/DRI maintainer). So, put up or shut up. Or, to paraphrase the sentiment that you seem to not grok: talk is cheap; show us your code.

Let me make it clear. I call out brigading because it is useless noise that distorts and obfuscates the kernel development process. I don’t care that you’re salty that I’m pointing out that your “absolute crickets” comment is not only incorrect, but empty in the sense that your lack of perception is not a substitute for the actual process of kernel development. Additionally, in this case, it seems like you’re still focused on personalities rather than the underlying computer science; I expect “absolute crickets” when asking you about the topic of memory safety.

I expect you to have zero kernel commits to your name.

Why does your opinion matter? You’re a chicken, not a pig.

Your argument is completely specious. Re-read that list. Assembly is a second language in the kernel already, and really it’s multiple languages, one per supported ISA. Perl and Python scripts are used to generate data tables; there are multiple build-time languages. eBPF is evaluated at runtime; the kernel contains bytecode loaders, JIT compilers, and capability management for it. The kernel has already paid the initial cost of setting up a chimeric build process which evaluates many different languages at many different stages.

Man, some folks around here really make it obvious that they’ve never been yelled at by Linus in-person.

As explained self-referentially in this Zeit article, photo and video of Musk’s actions is not publishable without alterations in Germany because it violates anti-Nazi laws. By German standards, Musk is a Nazi.

Your opinion doesn’t mean shit when you are this ill-read, this out-of-touch with politics, and this apologetic for an open fascist.

There are a lot of programming languages. Also, features can often be hacked onto or off of a language. It’s therefore important to be able to quickly reject a language based on undesirable features. It’s also important to recall the big picture: to maintain a large amount of instructions or transformations which have been proven correct. Anything which gets in the way of that big picture should be quickly rejected.
