Great parts of FreeBSD, in fact the vast majority of the source code, is written in C. But it is not *completely* written in C. > Is there any part of OS written in C++ ? Yes. The source code is freely available online. You can check for yourself :) > And I Guess GCC Compiler is used for compilation; ( Is it so ? ) Yes, the officially supported compiler is the GCC version that comes with the base system. But this does not mean that only the particular GCC compiler suite works for developing software on FreeBSD. You can find a wealth of compilers for a huge collection of languages in the Ports Collection. Compilers exist for FORTRAN, Haskell, Pascal, Modula 3, etc. Interpreters and interactive environments for Perl, Python, Ruby, Lisp and Scheme are easy to install too. You name it, and the Ports probably has a compiler or interpreter for it already. - Giorgos
