Hi, That would seem to rather difficult considering the fact that the entire OS= is written in it. If you want to hack on FreeBSD, you should learn and use= C. If you're new to programming in general, you should also learn C. Your = code will thank you for it regardless of the language(s) you ultimately end= up using. Another added bonus is that you won't spend the rest of your day= s trying to justify the fact that you didn't learn it ;) Thanks, -G -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-hackers@freeb= sd.org] On Behalf Of fran=E7ai s Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 1:08 PM To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Subject: The use of C language is avoided in FreeBSD development? The use of C language is avoided in FreeBSD development? I ask this because= second Eric Raymond in 'How To Become A Hacker', actually, the more you ca= n avoid programming in C the more productive you will be. reference:http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/l= istinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
