In case someone is interested, the freebsd people is trying to design something that tries to achieve such things for the particular case of the kernel without falling in the dangers of c++ "...a dialect of the C language that simplifies the task of writing kernel code. It should include language extensions that make it possible to write kernel code more cleanly and with less bugs. An example of this would have language support for linked lists, to obviate the need for messy MACROs" http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/K
