The video has a slide which says, > I'm running on an OS where the entire userland is compiled with Fil-C/C++ (emphasis mine) Looking up https://fil-c.org/pizlix , that says, > The kernel is compiled with Yolo-C. So that you can compile the kernel, a copy of GCC is installed in /yolo/bin/gcc. Where do you see anything saying the Linux (the kernel) can be built with Fil-C? |

However, I don't see why the full Linux kernel could not be compiled with Fil-C. It would be nice if Fil himself could explain what limitations there are, but the documentation does not list missing C/C++ features as far as I know, it only says it's "fanatically compatible" which I take to mean mostly everything should work?!
But to my point in general, here's a osdev.org wiki explaining how high level languages can and have been used for OS development (with the caveat that some Assembly code is required, which I believe is also true of kernels written in C): https://wiki.osdev.org/Languages
