WINDOWS is written in JavaScript ??

Question

I just searched on google for "Windows".
And I come to know that it is written in
JavaScript, visual basic and C.

How come WINDOWS is written in JavaScript??
JavaScript is not compiled language.

If this is true then which part of WINDOWS is written in JavaScript ??
And why someone will use interpreted language for making system software ??

Answer 1

Windows is written in C. In fact, most operating systems are. Not even languages like Java or C# are used, let alone scripting languages like JavaScript.

I'm guessing the part written in JavaScript and Visual Basic is the user interface. I can't think of any other place where they can be used. Maybe someone else can tell.

Answer 2

I don't know for visual basic, but for javascript it is used in windows to handle the web based interface ^^

that doesn't means "windows is written with javascript" but "javascript is used to do some tasks in windows" ;P

similary, visual basic could be used in windows, as visual basic is a relatively old microsoft scripting language used to integrate "BASIC" like / flavour GUI application in windows...

Answer 3

XXX
Even user interface must not be written is interpreted language.
Because it is interface of Operating System.

It is not a normal software.

I know that for writing interfaces languages like C# and JavaScript are good because of speed of development but still performance and efficiency is very important for Operating system.
