Rewriting linux from scratch in a cool language like Go would also help a lot.

  Yes. The Linux kernel should be entirely rewritten every 5-10 years so that it can be in the latest "trendy" programming languages.

  Or in java or any other language

    As long as it's cool and has goroutines and interfaces and no semicolons.

  Go doesn't even support all of the architectures on which Linux runs, for example, IBM mainframes. Not to mention that a language that relies on its own automatic memory management (garbage collection) might not work so well for kernel programming.

    I thought it was obvious that it was a joke motivated by the recent headlines on HN...

  I think it should be rewritten in assembler, because its so old its retro and now will become the new hotness.
