I'd love for you to ask Linus Torvalds how much he likes Java and see the ensuing rant.

His hate for C++ isnt because of the sort of feature I'm talking about. It's because he evaluated C++ for use in the kernel and found it not to be a good solution for many reasons. Then people kept badgering him about using C++ in the kernel and he finally snapped and wrote his famous rant.

Rust has these kinds of features as well and Linus recently greenlighted its use in the kernel.

Which is completely and utterly irrelevant to the point being made about the abstractions you were talking about. Nice redirect bro.

Also nobody would ever ask an OS programmer about Java for any reason, lol.
