Some of that is vastly simpler to do with a dynamic language.
"You can boot into a REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loop) and can inspect or rewrite any part of the OS as you are using it."
As far as I know, nobody has figured out a way to have your cake and eat it too with static typing. Some of the simple things that lisps have been doing for decades are very difficult if not impossible to do with statically compiled languages.

But it's quite a lot of work to get acceptable OS performance if your entire system is interpreted or has to be JIT compiled all the time. People who do that tend to coincidentally decide they're so hardcore they don't even need JPEG support, video, or web browsing…
