I am actually interesting in Linux operating system. Now, I am learning about its commands online right now. Hopefully, I can make Linux good use to me. I also want to know what programming language they used to write the Linux operating system? Java? C++? Or others..........? If any computer genius here, please give me an advise on this subject.

Using C and assembly language
With the C language, reason: more efficient.
If using C + +, while supporting OOP, but low efficiency. Can be simulated using C language is still a certain degree of OOP effect.
Of course, there is a reason, UNIX was rewritten to use C. The Linux is a UNIX variant, of course, better compatibility with the same language.
Platform-specific version of the course you need some assembly code.

wow, it seems there is much more to learn about Linux and the source code on it. I should spend more time, and energy focus on doing it. I am nut for the programming right now. I am a newbie, and I would like to dedicate myself more to it. Thanks once again here.
