Of course - some parts of Visopsys are written in ASM (that's why it needs NASM, the assembler, to build).

The OS loader (src/osloader) is all written in ASM.

The language is the same regardless of the OS.

The things that'll be different are the way the final program is linked, and the system calls, to talk to the kernel.

We can go through that once you can build, install, and run the OS. Maybe make a 'hello world' in C, get familiar with the environment, etc.
