Is it possible to implement a new programming language into the kernel? And if so, how would I go about doing this?

I'm curious as to why you suggest "no"?

And if it were to successfully eventuate and I were to do this, it would only ever be a custom kernel. And that's why I'm curious as to why you say to not do it.

Try it and find out why he, and others, recommend not to do so :)

Best of luck,
