Answer 12

I think the best language for OS build is Java because it uses every computer science aspects and it's also good for you as it can get really interesting though complicated.
For an intelligent programmer it advised to develop and detect vulnerabilities among your code that can lead to errors of high complexity. If you find yourself troubled by those you can also use a program as help. I tend to use checkmarx for error detection.
Good luck programming.
