That's true, but if you undertake a difficult and long-term project, you want the outcome to be decisive. Mach is ugly and a nest of bugs, but kernels implemented in C/C++ are bug magnets with several orders of magnitude more force.

My prediction is that we don't ever see an XNU refactor/ redesign/ rewrite so long as C/C++ is the kernel implementation language.
