Idea of using C++ is not so crazy. Haiku is programmed largely in C++.
C++ is more strongly typed than C. I have some familiarity with Ada, which is
(I believe) more strongly typed.
I am very limited in my ability to test ReactOS because of no place to put it.
Hard drives are partitioned GPT, and booting from USB stick is problematic from
what I read.
