  1. …https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_(software) ). In the latter, he also touched some GTK code: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface-for-dirk/commit/c0adf... Trovalds has much more breadth than you give him credit for.

  2. …imperative? Not at the top of my list. The relevant points are nicely summarized by Linus Torvalds: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface-for-dirk/blob/a48494d...

  3. Here is how Linus Torvalds describes a good commit message. https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface-for-dirk/blob/a48494d...

  4. How to write good git commit messages literally from the person who wrote git (Linus Torvalds): https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface-for-dirk/blob/0f58510... I always send this to people as I teach them git.

  5. Yet even Linus does use C++ nowadays: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface
    comment by pjmlp · 2016-12-28 · in Rust is more than safety
  6. This is 9 years old. Linus has been happily writing C++ for some time now. For example: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commit/56ed3f1c6119b9...

  7. Yet, https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface

  8. Yet given the actual state of Gtk development, even Linus is using C++ nowadays via Qt. https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface

  9. But other than Linux and git (and a diving app [0]), what has Linus ever done for us? [1] [0] https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWfh6sGyso

  10. …incompatibilities. But I don't see how the C++ dialects (of well-written code) are isolating. [1] https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface

  11. https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface pretty interesting! the .c's heavily outnumber the .cpp's. there's nothing like having your prejudices confirmed to harden them, so I question whether he is more welcoming.

  12. …war. The more interesting question is what new projects should do. Even Linus puts new things ( https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface ) on Github.
    comment by ef4 · 2014-09-29 · in Area programmer laments designers don’t use the same tools he does
  13. https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface I didn't really know what he was talking about but I think this is it. The title does need changing though as it is definitely file formats under discussion not file systems.

  14. …of his job. If Linus is coding, it is probably more on his scuba diving tool than the Linux kernel. https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface
    comment by qznc · 2013-02-27 · in Why is BIND 10 written in C++ and Python?
  15. Linus Torvalds himself is an advocate of very descriptive commit messages: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/blob/master/README#L1... And more explicitly: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56599... We have been…

  16. …damn handy to know how long that line would be so you don't get something stupid-looking like this: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commit/bea6637c03a90f...

  17. …when there appears to be plenty of room left to display the characters. Like this one from Linus: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commit/bea6637c03a90f...
    comment by dmethvin · 2012-05-11 · in Linus Torvalds won't do github pull requests
  18. It's instructive to read Linus's commits to his hobby project "subsurface": https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commits/master Even if I can't code like Linus, I can at least try to write commit messages like his…

  19. …portability, it's BS. Is this how normal people start a conversation? Who's the jerk, here? [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/blob/master/README#L1...
    comment by andos · 2012-02-28 · in Linus Torvalds on C++
  20. …fixes for problems that could be easily avoided in other languages (like memory leak here [1]). [1] https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface/commit/6eefcf40e68c2a...
