Faire enough.
I do conceed that even though bashing C is a pasttime of mine, I would use it if it is the best option for a given project, depending on the set of factors to be considered for the said project.
In real life projects, there should be no place for tooling religion anyway,
Don't get me wrong, I wrote low-level code in Pascal, too. It's nice and I probably wouldn't grumble too much if I had to do it again, but there's a bunch of stuff that comes in the same package with using something other than a language widely considered adequate for systems programming.
