IT'S OFFICIAL: C++ SUCKS

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/57643/focus=57918

Why not writing GIT on Python? That'd have made the most sense, being a very productive, high-level, versatile language where you can do a bit of FP, a bit of OO, and a bit of good old traditional programming as you need it. It's also easy to learn and it has an awesome library and community.

That would have made too much sense for a dumb fucktard like Torvalds. Seriously, after reading his messages, I am now scared of using anything he has any say over.. I may have to switch from Linux to BSD.. hell, even Vista may be better!

Python is not scalable.

>>15
Python is as scalable or non-scalable as C, with the difference that being higher level, it's easier to use the network, serialize objects, hot update functions and modules, and create more ambitious abstractions, and there's a good library that will help one way or another.

Python is not Enterprise-ready.

Thanks for sharing my view that Python is fairly good.
