    Naturally I wonder, did anybody actually test those 200k lines of code? Or is it cowboy programming all the way as is the usual style?
    Great troll post.

        asp.net and objectve c++ code inside the kernel? That was unexpected

          ASP.net is an obvious error of the tool, objective C probably too.

          See from github here https://github.com/torvalds/linux click on the black bar under the commits/branch/release/contributors, and it will show the percentages of code in the project. You can also click on the code type and it will pull up a list of all the files coded with that language.

          I still think github is mistaken about objective C as what it calls "objective C" are plain C files with structs inside.

              Naturally I wonder, did you manually go over all of the kernel's 14-odd million lines? Better to be sure! Talk to you when you get back. Good luck!

                I doubt any one person/team tested all 200K, but each developer/team tests their own contributions.

                What is "cowboy programming" ? Something like pair programming where one of the programmers is a horse ?

                I know people who find they write better code when they have a cat in the room glaring at them... doesn't seem to work with dogs though.

                  I think it's some kind of waterfall?...

                  Ha, that's interesting. I don't think I could work with any creature staring at me though.

                    this is the "official" meaning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_coding
