Most flight software is written in C or C++, because it has to be bare metal fast and utterly predictable. The code is written in a CMMI Level 4 or better environment, which guarantees that every line of code is scrutinized and tested as much as possible, from every angle.

That being said, never, ever use JAVA in anything realtime - a full stop garbage collection at the wrong time will ruin your afternoon.
