Hi list,

I have a very basic question. 

As far as i can decipher , we impose Object oriented paradigm in kernel space using C  : like using gates to allow only one way entry and binding functions to structures in a OOP fashion  and trying to make them private to that structure only  , encapsulation of one struct into another structure (and lots of features ) and itself  lots of kernel subsystem supports like driver interface and blah blah behaving like **objects** .......

why dont we use some fully OOPs supportive language like JAVA or partial supportive language like  C++ to construct Linux Kernel????

I don't  think that performance is the main reason behind all this . Is it??

Thanks a lot in advance.
