Since you've listed three languages, prob those are the ones you've heard somewhere (java is very hyped, c++ is touted as backwards compared to java, and there are alot of old basic books), when you look at the kernel of, for example, linux, you won't find a single piece of c++/basic/java code, everything is written in c.. |
You are wrong to a certain degree. what the other person was talking about is SUN system which I going to guess have java chips in it. My school uses java chips to control robots. You put the code directly on the java chip and then the java code can run the robot. I going to guess the SUN system he was talking about uses something similar to this. On a x86 system you are correct there would be no way to make a OS in java.
