Same happened with me and Oberon.

Using an OS written in a GC enabled systems language made me realize that not only it was viable, it was quite productive to work in such environments.

The problem is having a big name OS vendor willing to push it to the nameless crowds no matter what.

So far we have to get happy with half-hearted steps like Swift, ChromeOS/Android(Things) with heavily constrained NDK, .NET/UWP on Windows and maybe in a decade with more baby steps, we are able to reach what Oberon/Topaz/Spin/Inferno/Singularity/Midori had on their design.
