100% of the user space programs were from gnu. Compiler was from gnu

The initial filesystem was minix

The kernel was Linux.

So I would say Linus had 100s of man years of ecosystem he could benefit from and that is the oss spirit.

But yeah he did not write a shell or an editor or Compiler etc and the kernel was of course oriented towards an unix like os.imagine you would have had to start from scratch, if you had just had a PC and a bios.

In the early 1990s, C++ had not yet been standardized by ISO, so your argument doesn’t apply to that period.

hmm how can I reuse this useful Go library in python... Oh I can't.. hmm and how can I reuse this useful java library in php ? Oh I can't. Oh and which of the programming languages you mentioned can and do use C libraries? All of them.

Reminds me of that coworker who thought that OpenCV was basically written in python.
