Linux is an operating system therefore it sucks.
Water is a liquid therefore it is wet.
You put sage in a name field therefore you are seeking all gay experiences.

I was taking a look at the IO subsystem in the kernel sources, looks like someone tried to hack in a minimal garbage collector instead of using the traditional kernel slab allocator. Hence your system free during the GC collection every two minutes. Fucking retards using GC in the kernel! Next, they'll be trying to using dynamically and weakly typed languages in kernel modules, because that's what they were taught was superior by the a GC-biased academia.
I suck. I'm copying X characters to reply box and I recognize my worthlessness in this ecosystem every two seconds. Who wrote OP? Some faggot, apperantly.

C is such an improvement over weakly typed languages (if you don't get it, that's sarcasm)
Everything in Linux sucks. For example, when I close "Nautilus" file manager window, it doesnt terminate program, but puts it in background. Why? To leak more CPU and memory!
The xfce4-menu-plug already ate 140 megabytes of memory, and it's just a toolbar! When I try to `kill -S gnome-screensaver`, it blanks whole screen and only reboot helps. Gedit (a simple notepad) takes whooping 60 megabytes to edit a few lines of text and it loads about 10 seconds! Opening a directory in files browser sometimes takes minutes, due to its file type detection feature (it scans and makes thumbnail of every file). Thousands of thumbnails stored inside ~/.thumbnails slow down image viewer startup by about 20 seconds. Invoking `cat` on a binary file damages terminal output and sometimes crashes bash.

Also, file type detection is extremely glitchy and detects unrelated files as PCX files. It also ignores it's extension. So if it detect JPEG file as PCX, it will open it as PCX and crash viewer, despite that it has JPG extension.

Real static type systems doesn't have void*, implicit conversions, and the ability cast anything to anything.

Even fucking ZX-Spectrum was faster than Linux.

void* and typecasts are features, nobody forces them upon you. And the implicit conversions of C actually make sense.
Contrast that with dynamic languages, where you are forced to bear with the lack of compile-time checking.

Please, define "type". Hope it isnt an "infinte set" of "objects".
