    Not to be a complete dick ,but come on. If I am more comfortable 
writing my stuff in assembler, then C should I be allowed to do so?
I mean to me it is maintainable and produces the best results as my code 
is all that it output. But what happens when I get tried of taking care 
of all the stuff I wrote?
Someone else has to do it or redo all my work. In a large project like 
ReactOS I would  dare say that to commingle code of different languages 
is a bad idea(in the core).
Now for drivers that would be up to their writers as you can write 
drivers in just about any language that will do stdcall(AFAIK).
