I agree, it certainly doesn't seem like you have any idea of what is involved in writing an OS.

If you had any idea, you'd know that there isn't any way to write an OS in Java or in BASIC since both of those languages are partially interpreted.

Your only option is a language and a compiler that can generate native binaries.

Furthermore, the vast majority of it would have to be in assembly code, which is targeted at whatever processor you are writing it for.
