Problem
I couldn't find the programming languages used for VMWare's ESX/ESXi hypervisor anywhere on the internet, so I'll make it easier for you - the hypervisor is programmed in C.
Solution
The VMware hypervisor, kernel, and drivers are written in C. Management layers are usually written in C++ or bash, perl, and python scripts as well as a lot of C.
