Shouldn't it be "Micro kernel written in C++" ?

Github says the code is 72.6% C and 19.3% C++.

Personally, I wouldn't call that 'definitely C' or 'definitely C++'

The Linux kernel, just for reference, is 95.7% C and only 2% C++

Most of the kernel code seems to be written in plain old C. I didn't come across any C++ code while digging around the kernel internals, but there's at least some C++ code in the userspace components.
