It’s the only other language that Linux is allowing??? What the fuck is this guy cooking in his rv because I’m gonna buy some.
I’ve written websites on Linux. I’ve written Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and Python on Linux. It fucking comes with Python and Ruby interpreters. Most environments are way easier to set up than Windows. I’ve been writing code on Linux for 10 fucking years what the fuck is this guy talking about?
Linux from scratch essentially requires Python, Perl, etc. to build: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/hostreqs.html
The Linux kernel shows a little Python and Perl in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Picking one repo fork out of Linux’s git tree (before everything is merged into linux-next), we can see other languages, such as C++, contribute to various components of Linux: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux
The kernel repository includes a number of configuration and debugging tools in various scripting languages, but these aren’t build inputs for the kernel itself.
