I don't give a rat's _ass_ about the language. I just prefer things to work properly. If possible, it should be designed well. Anybody can write really stupid code and dress it up in a nice box and sell it to the masses. If less people were concerned with the "appearance" of something striking them as "professional" and more were impressed with actual quality, we'd all be in much better shape. Are you easily impressed by somebody in a nice suit? Do you buy things because the advertising campaign is clever? Do you buy the most expensive model because "if it costs more, it _must_ be better"? If so, I guess Linux just doesn't fit your requirements. The next time somebody says something like "its just not professional" I'm going to scream. Really, the bottom line is that the ufs code doesn't quite work on all the various things I've tried to mount with it. Eventually, I'm sure it will. Whether it contains bad languange is irrelevent. Hey people, its just _words_. In the meantime, Linus _was_ forced to _waste_ his time describing a "policy" about "obscene" code being included in the kernel. Happy now? Wouldn't you rather he fixed a nasty vm bug or something actually relevant? Unbelievable.
