For your (2): the linux kernel is really not the pinnacle of kernel 
development. Neither ruby nor python nor perl are efficient, I don't know why 
did you mention them. Things written in C doesn't make C better. C is the base 
of unices and has a simple ABI - these are enough to make C live forever 
because compatibility and ubiquity are more important to companies than 
performance or safety.
