The DriverKit looks like to be Obj-C. http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/NeXTStep/3.3/nd/OperatingSystem/ Part3_DriverKit/Concepts/Preface.htmld/index.html 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.
