The people on the standards committee, at least for C++, tend to be heavy users of the language.

My theory is there ware two kinds of programs.

Type one: where all the side effects are hidden behind an OS call.

Type two: Where side effects are primary and unavoidable.

People on the standards committee universally write type one code (compilers and the like). Where the Linux kernel is type two.
