New languages for OS level programming?I've been reading a lot about various new languages like Ruby, Haskell, Python, etc. But none of them seem suitable for programming say, an Operating System, or performing really low level work on an embedded device. First, these languages (understandably) sacrifice efficiency for ease of use (but I don't think these are always mutually exclusive). Second, a lot of times these languages simply don't provide any mechanism for getting at the hardware. Has there been any research into new languages that would be as suitable for an OS as C?
