Oh, and btw, download that there Singularity OS. Note the almost 
complete lack of anything remotely approaching C in the source. The use 
of C in Singularity is approximately like the use of assembler in 
C-based operating systems - the stuff that's impossible to do in the 
higher-level languages, like turning interrupts into appropriate stack 
frames and saving off registers during context switches.

That was one of the premises they started with: what if nothing in the 
OS was written in a language like C? :-)
