This doesn’t seem true to me. You can definitely work with the traditional kernel and C model, but we have eBPF, GPU computing, unikernels, C++20 and Rust… and I’m not a low-level guy, that’s just off the top of my head. Things do evolve.

I agree that most kernel programming isn’t computer-science hard, but its peopleware-hard: you need to maintain compatibility and get signoff and step very carefully forward because any change can affect so many disparate groupa.
