(This is in response to various comments/answers you gave, not just this initial email.) FYI: perl: C program python: C program (ba)sh: C program ruby: C program sed: C program awk: C program the list continues... And have you thought about make, m4, gcc, autotools? They all have/are their own "language" that you need to learn. gcc uses Lisp (or something like it) internally, are you now no longer going to use a compiler? No more make because it requires you to learn its language? How are you going to build your code? What about XML, YAML, HTML, javascript, and such? No more browser? No more internet? :-) On a different note, have you realised just how much you need to know before you "know" your whole system? Just the Linux kernel is (2.6.29) is 11 million SLOC. Debian 4.0 was a whopping 283 million SLOC. To quote some more from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_lines_of_code: "A similar study was later made of Debian Linux version 2.2 (also known as "Potato"); this version of Linux was originally released in August 2000. This study found that Debian Linux 2.2 included over 55 million SLOC, and if developed in a conventional proprietary way would have required 14,005 person-years and cost $1.9 billion USD to develop." Are you going to live that long? Do you have that much money? (If yes to the latter, could you please send a few million my way?) ;-) Please think this through and listen to reason before you waste your life.
