It's all in C.
Nope, at some place of the compilation there is some
intermediate C code, yes,
but the stuff the developers wrote is not C.
According to this, it's C:

If you cared to follow the discussion up to the JPL documents, you
would see that the majority of C code is actually generated via
Python.
As for the remaining handwritten part, it follows the JPL strict
C coding standard, which is an extension of MISRA C, with so many
restrictions that
it kind of turns C into a Pascal like language.
