While both C and Rust compiler infrastructure used by Linux drivers is written in C++.
C will outlive all of us.
C++… I don’t know it well. But I’ve heard there are a lot of different dialects, to the point where it is possible that two C++ programmers might be writing in essentially different languages. How “old” is the language, in that case?
