Apparently this is not the case. Twenty years after IBM launches the
IBM PC, you see a myriads of operating systems written in C: MINIX,
XINU, Linux, XENIX, FreeBSD, etc... I haven't seen anything in Ada
on any PC that provides half the functionality of DOS. Maybe there
is a language that makes OS design become a walk in the park. That
language is not Ada.
