Is there any knowledgeable person in here?

who can explain why linux kernel is not written from Plan9 but Minix. Also will Linux be rewritten with Go language (would you really recommend even to do it?) ? Like C++ was once upon a time, planed to use (but there was a nice answer about that, to use it as a reference "do not do use it")!

Quoted 2 lines

I am trying to understand the linux kernel and language C also learning the Git and Gcc itself. For to compare with Plan9, 9p systems os.

Problem A:

But my confusion started since Google have on-boad worlds top class programmers, to prove C not necessary anymore, and Plan9 is the worlds first-class operating system (Who are you kidding with? we got on-boad):

1) Guido van Rossum (Python creator)
2) James Gosling (Java creator)
3) Ken Thompson (Unix, Plan9, C master mind)
4) Rob pike (Unix, etc etc master mind)
5) Theodore Ts'o (Linux core guy)
6) many more... if you search you will be surprise (All jumped to Google)

Problem B:

Quoted 2 lines · Google has

GCC is broken http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/GCC
Use other compilers (why?)

Quoted 2 lines · Google has

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/GNU/
May i know why GNU is told like this?

Google has said: C++ is not a good choice

Quoted 3 lines

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/
Linus agreed: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus
Rms agreed: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/rms

Google has said: Csh is not good either

Quoted 1 line

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/csh

Google has said: Java is evil, recommend to use Go language, not even telling to use C (the reference link is broken).

Quoted 1 line

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/java

Does that mean Linux kernel is lacking somewhere, which makes Google and Problem A members to think Linux is not for Google?
Why big Google not recommending Linux but recommending 9p, p9 shit's (although they are using MODIFIED LINUX KERNEL, not linux kernel)?

Many Thanks
Best regards

Extremely unlikely. Neither is Plan 9 kernel, for that matter.

Not really. Your confusion has started since you are a fucking moron. Now, sod off and try, if at all possible, to be a little more original the next time you troll.

The fact is that Google engineers also contribute to the Linux kernel community when they MODIFY it.
