The batching has serious problems, not the least of which is that it's a fundamentally more complex interface, and introduces issues like "how do we pass values from one system call to the next".


Why, we obviously need a Turing-complete language running in kernel space (interpreted, of course, to keep it secure.) Pretty soon we can run the whole app in it, and we'll have to have a JIT to make it suck on less. Since it's going to need caffeine, we can call it "Java."
