Max,
You are very right because writing device drivers is something like playing
directly with the hardware and to do that one needs a language which is much
more near to the hardware a simple way to understand it is (though i dont
know about HDL but i am sure) that after assembly you only have C which is
more near to hardware instead of C++.Thats why it is needed and exists even
after 20-25 yrs of invention of ritchy.–Subodh
