Oh, I love Linus for his "strong opinions".

Yep, that is what I was thinking too. Mixing C and C++ is not nice. The two languages are still too different is some aspects. Nevertheless generics (i.e. C++ templates) and some form of subtyping could really help to make C a better, more expressive language. Cyclone [1] seemed to be a good candidate, but then it's nearly dead. Regards, Michael [1]: http://cyclone.thelanguage.org/
