1. Do you expect that we'll ever see a successful general purpose OS kernel written almost entirely in C++?
2. How does the D programming language stack up against C++?
3. How does Objective C stack up (technically) against C++?
4. Do you think there is an outer limit (say, in terms of LOC) to the scalability of a C++ codebase, before higher level languages need to be considered?

Easy it would be called BeOS, Symbian, Genode, Windows 9 maybe (if the kernel transition to compile with C++ is already done) ...
