In all seriousness, when you have to support hardware controllers whose only interface to the CPU is a memory block or I/O instructions, what other choice do you have besides C? I guess you have C++...

  *Assembler
  *Forth
  *Any language which allows inline assembly.
  *Any statically typed language compiled to C: Haskell, Ocaml, Go, etc.
  *Any language that can reference memory locations directly.

Any language in which you built support for that kind of manipulations? I mean it's not like C magically gets features.
