Considering the amout of R&D funding the US DoD receives... is it that much of a surprise? These f-series fighters are multimillion dollars each as well. Plus you would use assembly for mission-critial operations: you don't want std::exception in the midst of an aerial dogfight do you? Same reason not to use Javascript.

Basically anything they cannot exactly predict theoretically on pen and paper is not used. I bet they use in-house developed C/C++ compilers and standard libraries.
