I know C can. Scripting languages can't unless you use something along the lines of Cython; even then I don't know if they have the capacity to make one. No matter what, it has to be compiled to a very low level language or straight binary.

You can use any programming language to create an os ,but the problem is device drivers .You need assembly level language.That is why c is used.Assembly language can be Embedded in c,whereas this not case in python.

For example, Linux [the kernel] is *mostly* written in C, but it still has some assembly parts. Very little, though. I reckon there's a documentary film about Linus explaining this.. somewhere.

C or C++ or both, since they were created for that :) Like my fellow companions said here, C is very good for this since it works with Assembly withing it, so therefore you can program in assembly languahge to command certain things, as device drivers.

I believe there are pretty much lots of tools to work with, that can help out to make an OS, whether you use C, C++ or any opther language, just need to find those that access your interest :)

C was designed specifically for that purpose though i think c++ can be used too. Assembly must be used at some point
