I wonder on which language is Chromium OS written.I guess they have used C/C++ but did they put something different(Go,).Did they used Assembly for low level code as I know that they had to change some things to make booting a lot faster?

Poke around /etc/ in Chromium, and you'll quickly see it is mostly Ubuntu; Google contracted with Canonical to do the majority of the work.
It boots quickly because it doesn't do much. :) I'm sure there's more to it than that, but restricting what the system can do is a great way to reduce the boot speed problem to something more tractable.

It's not really written in anything. It's yet another Linux distribution which packages a whole bunch of pre-exisiting programs, every single one developed independently and written in whichever language its individual author prefers.
It's really just YAUD (yet another Ubuntu derivative).
