    Video Codecs are usually written in C or C++.
    Router firmware is usually some version of BusyBox Linux, so it's a Linux system, which is a lot of C code and some assembly.
    Algorithms are algorithms. Implementations can be written in any language.
    Data compression software? For something like WinZip I'd guess C++, but it can be done in any language.
