      There’s assembly and makefiles too

      Less of a joke answer, there has been work to allow Rust bindings for drivers.

      According to the github analysis, the kernel repository is:

      • C 98.3%
      • Assembly 0.7%
      • Shell 0.4%
      • Makefile 0.2%
      • Python 0.2%
      • Perl 0.1%
      • Other 0.1%

      So yeah, its basically all C, plus a tiny bit of assembly for very low level bootstrapping and some helper scripts.
