amazing post by Linus Torvalds. It sounds like mission impossible.

What kernels? If it is about OS kernel, there is a post from Linus Torvalds on this topic - http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus

And Java could not really work for an OS kernel. There was some kind of OS based on Java(partially, not for the kernel) named Solaris. It may still exist, not sure.

Kernels are written in C because a language like Java and VB need a JVM or CLR to run.
The java compiler converts source code into byte code and that byte code is converted into machine code and executed. But C compilers compile programme to directly run on machine. Java and VB like languages are devoleped and designed for Application programming
