Does anyone even know what Windows is written in?

Originally Windows was written in assembly and ran on top of DOS, but since Windows 2000 and XP, it's been exclusively running on the NT kernel, which is written primarily in C, with some C++ in there as well.

The actual userspace is mostly C++ and C#.

And basically the entirety of dotnet 6 forward is spans. It’s all spans. All the way down.

Well, you know those claims that Java runs on 18 trillion devices? How do you think they got there, hmmmmm?
