It is self-evident that an OS from scratch would be 
a gigantic costly endeavor when written from scratch.
OTOH Linus Torvalds is wise enough to identify Ada
as a useful tool to replace pieces of C-code
bit by bit towards temporary coexistence of both languages.
The biggest advantage is the deep knowledge of
weak points (if any) of the architecture of Linux.
