I want to know what people use to write device drivers? I am such a fool I really never new that people use c# to create device drivers for hardware and for creating firmware. I admit my stupidity that I never knew that c# is "real programming language ". and what is "your programming language?"python is a free and open source programming language and does not belong to one person.

My request and strong recommendation to you is "don't learn python, because you don't deserve to. " I am not saying for dissing you, i know you are "real programmer ". but you seam to have a typical mindset which the rubbish microsoft has inculcated in many programmers, aa sorry "real programmers " line you. I don't think there is any point saying "vvb kind of " some thing is great and python is rubbish. every language has its value and vb is not a language in the first place. python is made with a view that it is usefull for all purposes and it has been so far successful and I don't really care why it is done in c as long as it does the work. happy hacking.
