i suspect he means kernel language
Well I'm still keeping my dumb rant up 😡
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.
That's what I figured, thus I avoided saying it was part of the kernel itself. Nevertheless, they play a role in its development, build infrastructure, etc., which I believe is important as the collective work of various workers and their tools make the existence of the Linux kernel possible. Hence, the chud devs that complain about wOkE languages can go suck on a sock.
I'm not implying an absence of issues with Rust and other languages; just pointing out the lunacy of egotistical, rightoid, wannabe devs.
