Not all languages are suited for low-level system programming |
Not all languages are suited for low-level system programming, have no suitable low-level development tools available, or require specific runtime support, a problem C does not suffer from. Also, the vast majority of OS related resources (like tutorials, and how-to examples, including this wiki) assume C as the primary development language, so an OS developer should at least be able to read C code. |

Using a language other than C entails a good deal of extra effort. But there are [[Alta Lang |some developers]] who are willing to put in that effort in order to suit the development of their OSes to their ways of thinking (for example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm programming paradigms]). |
