What are the chances he's just a troll? A simple google search would show many similar debates.

I'm pretty sure you could cause the same in a month or two, by asking "I know there are projects using different languages to create kernel modules - even crazy ones like haskell. Can I use C++ in the kernel?"

Newbies? Not Google before asking a question on a newsgroup? What's the world coming to?

It's gotten to the point now that when I can't find a question asked previously, I start getting nervous, and 3/4ths of my initial post to a group starts off by explaining how I really did Google, honest! This is what I tried, and I still couldn't find anything, so if it's been asked before, please just point me to the right place, sorry!
