"Developers are working to create experimental open-source operating systems with modular microkernels using the C# programming language. The SharpOS and Cosmos projects both announced their first major milestone releases last month, demonstrating the technical viability of the concept. Although some previous research has been conducted in the area of VM-based operating systems, the Cosmos and SharpOS projects break a lot of new ground. One particularly notable prior effort in this field is Microsoft's Singularity experiment, a research project that that began in 2003 with the intent of creating a managed code operating system that uses the Barktok compiler and leverages static analysis and programmatic verifiability to ensure high dependability."

If people formate their LISP correctly then it is very readable. for some reason people like writing their LISP(Like(this) which(is(stupid)))
Though, with a mathematics background, LISP is actually kind of easy to read like that... I did it every day with composite functions.

Unix and C are not the be-all-end-all panacea for operating systems. They just happen to be some of the most successful over the past 30 years. That's not to say something else, with different paradigms, can't take a stab.
Though I kind of feel bad for the Lisp crowd out there. They were the originals (as far back as my memory goes), with Lisp machines. I still get lost in all the parentheses, but it's still at least interesting to study for perspective.
