You don't have to use an OO language to develop an OO OS. When I get back
onto my OS project, it will be written in Ada, it will be an OO OS, but it
will not be using tagged types (classes).

You need to define what you want your OS to do first, then decide what
language will help you to achieve this goal. You will need some assembly
language in there, and maybe some other languages may creep in ;-) Who
knows?
