This is not correct so far - except you trade in any of management frameworks 
or GUIs which are not part of XEN intself.

The "plain" and system-near xen is (as far as i have read within yet) in C 
(parts may be in assembler), some tools are written in/using Python and there 
are helper shell scripts.

Each of them are doing their job on different levels of the XEN infrastructure.
