Founder of Linux (Linus Torvalds )about one and ONLY Programming language 🤯❗❗❗

[xsanos]

Bro doesnt think in english. He thinks in assembly💀

[npaaron]

He probably knows the machine code as well 💀

[davida]

And if I see the assembly language I am almost looking at the hex file

[MrGarkin]

Wise Linus ponders,
Rust's promise of new starts,
Past left in the dust.

[davealsina]

he now accepts that they reprogram the kernel in rust ...

[Falcrist]

I can maybe believe Linus Torvalds knows what the assembly will look like most of the time, but were not writing code for the PDP11 anymore. C no longer maps to modern CISC and RISC architectures cleanly.
Except embedded systems. It works well for us.

[nmap-p-]

Appearantly it’s rust, which he states in a video which is almost older than 10 years than this one

[JLT]

Now so many think they need to learn C asap, you better learn some c language design or assembly first so you know what he is talking about.

[effsixteenblock]

I wish what Linus said was true.
It _used to be_ true.
Nowdays, not so much.
Even at their lowest settings, compiler optimizations have ruined any 1:1 comparisons between C and what it disassenbles to.

[BFedie]

Rust being accepted into the kernel doesn't directly contradict this. You can accept that something is good while also thinking it's not as good as something else.
It's also worth noting that he doesn't write any Rust himself. He just reviews other people's contributions.

[Wannabelokesh]

I don't know what happened inbetween, recently I've been searching about him and found two things, first is: he got upset on people who want rust to be used for linux kernel development and the second is that its decided to started contributing rust in linux kernel development.

[spik]

C is the best language for Linus because he predict that the assembly is going to look like when he writes is, unfortunately he can't predict what the assembly is going to look like when hundreds of other people write it.

[GopalVenkatesan]

With all due respect I don’t know if this statement stands true since a with compiler optimisations.

[cselmowthikm.]

We can dev a os in rust. Why i said rust is its close to c...

[MihirSanjayYadav]

If Linus was a black man, he'd definitely be a Compton Crip the way he loves C.

[Oncopoda]

I assume this is an old clip because Rust is amazing.

[therealvbw]

C++ should be used instead of C at any level above drivers.

[mariovidmar]

if we are going to be honest for linux to be adopted by ordinary users they would need to do major overhaul adopting system integration similar to chrome os where all native support for (best example fyde os ) chrome and android application is separated from linux container but its easy to install different distribution from sources (those being open source and bin almost completely similar to each thanks to snap, app image and other tools to translate distribution install packages to other distribution but still slightly different because of their install maintenance packages, for example you can install fedora or debian or even arch or gento andfirst thing you will see after it will be their version of chrome os fork with linux container that use universal packages but system itself use their own distro packages (deb, yum, rpm ...) same with other desktop environments and applications (I'm not an expert, besides that is my personal opinion ), more standardization and integration with google services and application .

[leojack]

100% agree. C is coding. The only real programming language I understand. Sadly for work I use Python, luckly gpt saved me to write it.

[craftrumzen]

Fax. Rust and pythons can make cool programs, but OS is something that needs real system language like C.
