According to stories I have read, IBM ran into the same problem when they were rewriting the SLIC for RISC. They tried get the existing people to write in C++ but they could not adapt so they ended up firing all the old developers and bringing in kids from college to write the SLIC kernel (The real operating system) in C++.

Those stories are most definitely not true.
