I'm pretty sure it's largely classic C, /not/ C++.

  It was C++ at least in the 90s when I interviewed for the JVM compiler team.

  I'm pretty sure that's 100% immaterial to the argument but from 8 seconds on Google, here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk https://github.com/openjdk/jdk C++: 13.9% C: 5.4% Or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotSpot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotSpot "Written in C++, Assembly" Or here: https://blogs.oracle.com/sundararajan/so-you-want-to-read-hotspot-source https://blogs.oracle.com/sundararajan/so-you-want-to-read-ho... I should have said Perl to really bring out the pedants.

    13.9% is hardly a big surface and I bet those C values come from C++ header files. Also OpenJDK is just one implementation among several.
