Not all of the system is written in C. Exec and all of the I/O device drivers are written in Assembly (speed!). A few of the libraries and resources are also in Assembly. Other parts of the system are in C with some functions downcoded for speed (e.g.: blitter interface). DOS is mostly in BCPL (Metacomco).
