don't say that! it may actually happen! :-)
There really is no alternative than C when you are
writing a new kernel
you can write one in almost 100% Java. See
<http://jnode.sourceforge.net/portal/>. The worst problem is, as always,
finding drivers for it. Don't ask me how do they implement the early
bootstrap or resident routines or interrupt handling (for the latter I
hypothize something like Windows ISRs + DPCs), but I think they're just
technicalities at JIT or runtime library level
C, in its pure form is starting to get a bit dated, but
it reduces
overhead and runs faster than C++.
please don't make statements you can't possibly prove (essentially because
they are false)
