> the relatively simple nature of C is what makes it suitable for large scale kernel development the relatively simple nature of any language would make it suitable for ANY large scale development I dont know why you attribute this to kernel development specifically.

I would think it has something to do with being closer to bare metal and can do low level instructions performantly.
