It's written in a C and C++ like language with a heavy helping of assembly thrown in. That sort of thing is usually reserved for embedded platforms where every nanosecond counts, but in this case it's the go-to language. This might be an artifact of how earlier in the project the assembler part was a lot more reliable than the rest of the compiler.

There's way too much assembly in there for this to ever be ported in any practical sense:
