I don't know that I'd agree that it wouldn't survive outside of research. In recent years, there's been a huge push for pure-managed operating systems, where everything runs in one address space and depends on the compiler to ensure security and reliability. While no such systems are in practice (to my knowledge), the potential is incredible. We'll see how it pans out in the next few years.
