Is Linux written in C or C++?
So what is C/C++ actually used for? Most of the operating systems are written in the C/C++ languages. These not only include Windows or Linux (the Linux kernel is almost entirely written in C), but also Google Chrome OS, RIM Blackberry OS 4.
Is Linux written in Python?
Most common are C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP and more recently Ruby. C is actually everywhere, as indeed the kernel is written in C. Perl and Python (2.6/2.7 mostly these days) are shipped with almost every distro. Some major components like installer scripts are written in Python or Perl, sometimes using both.
