Can you name any reasons for why should we support C++ in the kernel?
1. Porting existing modules written in C++ - the trigger for this thread?
2. Shorter, faster, more robust code.
Why shouldn't we invest the effort to making it possible to write kernel
modules in Haskell instead?
C++ is a system programming language with good C compatibility. Making
the kernel compatible with C++ is doable.
You could call it Linux++ and discuss it to your heart's content in l++kml ;)
