I&#x27;m going with your assessment of things as I think that&#x27;s why it stays stuck in my head to a degree. The other reason is it was a modern version of Oberon: a simple, GC&#x27;d, system language ETH wrote operating systems with. Given that, I still assume an OS can be written in Go in current form or with small changes (eg runtime, FFI).<p>Hell, people wrote OS&#x27;s in Haskell, Java, and C#. JX partly put the device drivers in Java. I&#x27;d be shocked if Go was only one that couldn&#x27;t handle it.
