After reading the original post... I noticed 3 things.
1) The writer of the original article is some butthurt C++ fag.
2) The writer of the original article is some butthurt C++ fag that knows that linus knows his shit, and couldn't even bother posting his name, fake or otherwise to man up to his claims.
3) The vast majority of his complaints stem from actually having to know your shit in C... instead of using some library someone wrote in C++. I'm sorry, at the point you get butthurt because someone wants you to know your shit instead of copy-n-pasta... the fuck are you doing?
