General Development ES is a fairly interesting looking open source research OS created by Nintendo. Runs natively on x86 (and qemu of course), kernel is written in C++, uses an ECMAScript interpreter for all of the userland, uses Cairo for graphics, and even has a port of Squeak.

It's a research system, not a console system. All sorts of crazy things can be used in a research system.

(And it runs on x86. That alone should tell you it's not for a console system...)
