This example is ludicrously contrived. For kernel modules, I think C is probably the superior choice. However, the measure of a programming language shouldn't be whether you can write kernel modules in it effectively unless that is the sole programming task that is important to you. And unless you're a paid kernel developer, I'd sincerely hope that you don't write the majority of your code to run in kernelspace - the seperation between the kernel's memory space and the user memory space exists for a very good reason. -- Mark -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
