If I recall correctly, the Linux Kernel is about one million lines of code, while KDE + LibreOffice + Firefox is more like 200 millions. Meaning, we could expect the kernel to be about 200 times cheaper than the rest of the software stack.
Even if they do use their miraculous 100× process (they partly do), it would still be a bit slower than a kernel in C.
My guess is, in about a year or two, we will see languages and programs based on their stack, and if it delivers, I think there's a good chance of total disruption before 2022, provided we push for it.
