There is QNX. seL4 is another.

The former is proprietary. The latter kernel is GPL2, similar to Linux.

QNX is not open source.

And seL4 is a kernel, not an OS. And it pretty hard to work with specially if you want any kind of dynamic system.

One where processes, drivers and libraries come and go during the whole OS uptime.

There is Genode, which can run atop of seL4(amongst others).
