Operating System

[Jordan]

I am planning to write a very small operating system soon in c. It's
going to be just something I am going to do as a hobby and if it get's
good maybe go further on it. Anyway I want to know is c still a good
language to do this in, or would c++ be a better one? I know c better
then c++.

C is a fine language in which to write operating systems.

The most programmers in the whole world are still attached to c and do not think to immigrate to its equivalent oop pl c++. The only reason is they are system programmers .
I beleive that c++ is a good language but what laids to it is certainly its slow generated programs .

so if you are to program an os the best appropriate pl is C.

note that there are also some os written entirely in pascal
and in any case they are good ones.

Well, I do not believe C++ is a good language (in fact, I believe the
opposite) and I do not believe that the OOP is anywhere near as wonderful
as so many would have us believe.
