... if the kernel was written in python, we'd still be waiting for v0.01 
to boot *grin*

One of the few decent excuses for using C or C++ is low level operating 
system tools and kernels. Everybody else should probably go find a 
language that understands that you can't just write 200bytes to a 
100byte string.
