Systems programming in languages other than C?Simple question. What is the latest research into doing the sort of tasks usually done in C/C++ with something else? I'll list three areas I think are important. 1) Ability to interface directly with hardware (i.e. can you write an OS in it) I'm aware of OCaml, which seems to fulfill at least #2 and #3 and I know about the House project in Haskell. The latter seems not to have been worked on in about 2 years though. I also know about the D language which seems like a better C++ but not a real departure from what's been going on for 30+ years. More generally, is any significant research into radical new OS concepts going on and what sort of languages are they using?
