Object Oriented Linux Kernel With C++ Driver Support

An anonymous reader writes: An effort underway called BOSS-MOOL, the Minimalistic Object Oriented Linux, is designing the Linux kernel with OOP and C++ driver support. Linus Torvalds' opinions on C++ have long been known while developers at the DOS Lab IIT Madras and CDAC Chennai feel redesigning the kernel with object oriented abstractions and C++ driver support will increase maintainability while reducing complexity of the kernel. It doesn't appear though the group will try to mainline these changes.

    you're an idiot.

    That's the kind of reasoned argument Linus would use, which is why people think he's a dick. The guy can't seem to open his mouth without insulting half the developers on the planet, and appears to be incapable of recognising talent in anyone except himself.
