why c++ not in kernel

linux - choice by linus torvalds to keep it out
windows - at the time of nt,xp driverstudio was available written by israeli engineers for c++
support on kernel
now wdf supports it
it needs special libraries, for constructors etc ... exception would be out .. its heavy , RTTI may be out???

ecos is c++, but it doesnt have distinction between kernel and user
there is a kernel written by italian guy which is in c++ ... its makefile is complicated

nachos is c++ , more like an interpreter

these side things will never catch up because for software, progressive development will always preferred rather than starting from scratch

its an art to derive stability out of chaos, many softwares
