What, like NextStep's IOKit that MacOSX uses? :)
Are you sure I/O Kit is from NeXTStep? The DriverKit looks like to
be Obj-C.

IOKit is derived, in a loose sense, from DriverKit, but as you note,
there is a language difference. There was a lot of grousing when
Apple discussed basing the device driver model in Mac OS X on
Objected-C, so they redid the design with C++ more-or-less in mind.
Cheers,
