C++ was discussed as having too many undesirable characteristics.
But that's exactly why I think a customized language for the kernel is an interesting idea. You could get pretty much exactly what you want for the kernel. Add features you need, remove any undesirable behavior or features.
For most programs that would be too much complexity, but the kernel has very particular needs. And I think a similar in spirit approach has worked very well with Qt.
