64I don’t think Linus should be the guy to go to for arguments here. His rants are horribly subjective and immature. He actually does have a few good points but they are so deeply buried (below “bullshit” as well as bullshit) that they are very hard to find.Konrad Rudolph– Konrad Rudolph2010-12-22 14:55:15 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2010 at 14:55

30Linus reminds me of a very talented roofer who's never hung sheetrock, but calls the sheetrock guys pansies because they use screws instead of nails.Bob Murphy– Bob Murphy2010-12-22 17:09:35 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2010 at 17:09

39I agree with @Daniel, If there is someone that can talk about pushing the boundaries of hardware is John Carmack creator of doom, quake and other games and founder of Id software. He writes this about c and c++ on a twitt a few months ago: "IMO, good C++ code is better than good C code, but bad C++ can be much, much worse than bad C code." twitter.com/#!/ID_AA_Carmack/status/26560399301Onema– Onema2010-12-22 23:21:20 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2010 at 23:21

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
