Google to fucking hard for you? How about Windows(C++) and Mac OS X(Objective C) for a start.Note that these are not, in fact, C. Then you have shit like es(javascript) and MinuetOS(asm)

Are you retarded? Windows and Mac OS X are both written in C.

The Mac OS X API is written in Objective C, not the fucking OS itself.

And the Windows API isn't even written in C++, let alone the OS, what the fuck are you on about?

Windows is not coded in C++. It does have non-kernel mode components coded in C++, however a few kernel mode parts are linked with libraries developed in c++. The Windows NT Kernel is coded in C, but the design is object oriented. What does this mean? You have simple C APIs working on system objects(for example represented by a handle, to which an internal data structure corresponds).

>>6
No, at least not WinNT+. DOS and Win31, Win9x series had large parts in asm, while NT has just a few minimal parts written in asm where special instructions were needed (for interfacing with special CPU or hardware facilities) or really speed critical sections.

>>7
It has a lot of C++ parts outside of the kernel, COM/OLE is heavily C++ based internally, lots of usermode GUI stuff is written in C++ and various services are written in C++.

The BeOS API layer uses C++, although the OS itself used mostly C and assembly.

Mac OS, back when it carried the rather boring name "System Software", was written in Pascal.

NeXTSTEP uses Objective-C for nearly everything.

And for some truly arcane stuff, take a look at http://www.colorforth.com/

Fuuuck. You beat me to it.

NeXTSTEP always had a kernel written in plain C, though. Hax OS X still does.

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that Next was all ObjC, and OS X's kernel was written in C because that part was taken from BSD.

I could be wrong though, I never really looked at it much. Stopped caring about Macs after the whole BeOS thing.

The Mach kernel was definitely not Objective-C, but apparently drivers could be written in it (they ran in separate Mach servers etc.)

In OS X, IOKit drivers are written in Embedded C++, because when they started the whole thing C++ compilers sucked and using only a subset seemed a reasonable way to go. This decision is now seen as shortsighted, but on the other hand Embedded C++ leaves out most of the nasty bits that only machobullshit wannabe-übercoders love.

The eCos realtime OS is written in C++ and I bet that a lot more specialized or niche operating systems are too. Desktop OSes all have their roots in old C OSes and retooling them just isn't worth the trouble.

Plan9 also had some goofball assdickery underneath the hood of its OS. They invented a language & compiling VM for it.

browse code looks like c and sub-c++ for IOKIT
other kits are probably objC
xnu is the OS X kernel

Read the fucking thread. Nothing in kernel is objc. Very little in non-GUI userland is objc. Display server is not objc. Objective-C is part of a convenience layer for application development.

You seem to have stumbled into the wrong board. Go back to somewhere ignorance and poor taste are appreciated.

Is there any OS not written in C?
